PEEFACE.
The Council of the Society have much pleasure in presenting the Twelfth Volume of the Journal to the Members, with the hope that the Contents will shew no falling off in interest and value.
' The Yorkshire Deeds, for which the Society is indebted to the kindness of Lord Grantley and Mr. Thomas Brooke, F.S.A., are of great value, and are being carefully edited by the practised skill of Mr. A. S. Ellis.
The History of the Wentworths of WooUey was placed at the disposal of the Council by Miss Wentworth, who has given every possible assistance in preparing it for the press ; the letters of the great Lord Strafford alone would have justified the publication of this memoir.
The paper on the Brasses of the Ease Riding is a model for all such papeis, and it is intended, with the assistance of Mr. Mill Stephenson, to continue the series to the North and West Ridings.
vi PllEKACK.
The Council trust [that the enlargement of the basis of the Society, testified by its recent incorporation, will ensure for the future Volumes of the Journal a continuance of that cordial co-operation of Yorkshire Antiquaries and of all who take pride in the History of the County, which has hitherto been so cheerfully accorded.
The Writers alone are responsible for the opinions contained in this Volume.

HISTORY OF THE WENTWORTHS OF WOOLLEY.
COXPILBD FROM PaPEUS AKD LxITEBS FOUND AT WOOLLET. By the late GEORGE EDWARD WENTWORTH.
The country about WooUey, which is still very thinly peopled, appears to have been lying uncultivated at the Conquest. Darton, lloystone, Notton, and Chevet, occur in Domesday book as places where cultivation had proceeded to a certain extent, but there is no mention of Woolley. The very name betokens wildness and the absence of culti- vation ; Wolf-ley, the old orthography, the land of wolves, and that this is the origin of the name, rests not on the etymology alone, for in two charters of lands in Woolley we have express notice of Wolf-pits existing here. They are both deeds of a John Tirel, son of a Ralph Tirol, of Bulslive, now Buschliff, to Thomas de Dictona.
Woolley is a manor of very ancient date, as Mr. Hum- phrey Davenport says, to whom Mr. Michael Wentwortli showed his documents and papers in the reign of James I. He says, " in my opinion, the evidences of Court Rolls within- mentioned do expressly prove a Manor of Woolley to have appertained unto the owners of Woolley." The first Lords of the Manor of Woolley that I can find mentioned, were the family of Dightons ; after them came the Stayntons, then the Rilstons ; from them it passed to the Woodroves, then to the Wentworths, in which family it now remains. The Dightons had the manor in the reign of Henry HI. and in the early part of the reign of Edward I. There are several grants in the reign of Henry HI. of land in Woolley from the Tirels to the Dightons. In that reign there is a grant from Henry de Dictona (Dighton) to Thomas de
vol. XII. B
•2 HISTORY OF THE WENTWOKTUS OF WOOLLEY.
Dictona, his brother, of the whole of the homage and service " belonging to my land of Woolley, and the whole of that land which came to me by Eva, formerly wife of Henry de Wolvelay, and the whole of the land and rents in the town of Wolvelay, with two parts of the mill of Wolvelay and with the water-course and water belonging to the same. To pay annually to me and my heirs, one pound at the Feast of St. Martin in the wintei'."
I cannot find the Dightons mentioned as being in Woolley later than 1291.
There is a Margaret Dighton mentioned in the reign of Edward I. who married John Stainton, and it appears by this the Manor of Woolley passed from the Dightons to the Staintons.
Coal was got on the Manor of Woolley at a very early date. In a court of Thomas de Stainton of the 30 of Edward I. some Freeholders are presented ^^ piv fodiendo carbonarios in alta via/' and again in the reign of Henry V. it is mentioned, that coal and Stone were gotten on the waste of the land.
The House of Woolley Park, formerly the seat of the Woodroves, now belonging to the Wentworths, was anciently described in the King's Records as being upon the site of one oxgang of land. The site of the house and the land about it were formerly the chief messuage of the Manor of Woolley, and paid as the chief messuage " whereon the Lord buildeth his Manor and Court keeping." This chief messuage was also described in the King's Records as the right of a knight's fee. The Lord of the Manor paid I6s. id. for the same to the Castle of Pontefract. The earliest notice which I can find of it is in a deed of Margaret de Staynton. She settles by this deed upon Godfrey, her son in tail, with remainders to the rest of her sons suc- cessively in tail, her capital messuage, buildings and garden with appurtenances. This deed is without date, but may safely be referred to the reign of Edward I. (The house at Woolley was not built until the time of the Woodroves.) In the first year of Edward 111. (1327) it is mentioned in an old terrier of the Manor ; the extent of it seems to have been 10 oxgangs of land. In a deed dated 22nd Sept., 25th of Edward IIL (1351), from a John Darcy to William de Notton, it is again mentioned. It

appeal's to have been held till the 39th of Edward III. (1365) by William de Kotton, when he granted it bv deed to Sir William de Finchendon. This Sir William de Xotton founded a chantry in the Church of Woolley to pi-ay for his soul. His arms were formerly in the belfrey window, Ai\ on a cross sable Jive plates. Sir William de Finchenden, who was also a man of note, appears to have been at that time Lord of the Manor of Hickleton, and had a good deal of land in Woolley, his arms were Or, on a chevron sable thi'ee Jinches or. From Sir William do Finchenden the house appears to have passed to Sir Robert Staynton. In 1425 this chief messuage was held by Willielinus do Ril les- ion, as appears from some old rents in Woolley, paid to the Castle of Pontefract.
In the fifth year of Henry VII. (1489), Robert Rilston, son and heir of Edmund Rilston, late of Wolvelay, granted this chief messuage to Richard Woodrove, Esq. The Ril- stons were Lords of the Alanor of Woolley, and it appears to have passed from them to the Woodroves, who at this time appear to have become Lords of the Manor.
The house at Woolley appears to have been built by the Woodroves, in the reign of Henry VII. Ifr. Hunter says that the Woodroves continued to make purchases at Woolley until 1517, at which time they had got possession of five out of the ten fees ; Woolley had then been, for a considerable time, their chief house. They had a Park vhich appeal's to have been enclosed by Sir Richard Wood- rove in the reign of Henry VIII., who made an agreement with Sir James Strangeways, Lord of Notton, for taking a certain portion out of the common laud at Woolley and enclosing; it in the Park. Again in the 13th vear of the same reign (1497), I find Thomas Woodrove, eldest son of Sir Richard, letting to Gilbert Legh all the frith (wood) growing in the Park.
The historian of South Yorkshire, speaking of Woolley, says (Vol. 2, page 387) : " What the Woodruffes possessed at Woolley and Notton, was conveyed by Francis Woodrove to Michael Wentworth, who seated himself at this place, and whose descendants became, by repeated purchases, possessed of the fee which had belonged to Prince at the time of Ber- nard's Survey, and of others of the ancient interests of Wool- ley. This branch of the family of Wentworth shot off from

the parent stock in the time of Henry VIII. Thomas Went- worth of Wentworth made his will in 1546, in which he men- tions, among other children, his son Michael, then one of the masters of the King s household. The wife of Thomas and mother of Michael was a daughter of Sir Richard Woodruffe of Woolley, so that the Wentworths are descended in blood from the older lords of Woolley. The first Michael Went- worth is described as " of Ottis in Essex, Esq.," in the first year of Queen Mary, 1554, and also as being then one of the Masters of the Queen's Household. He died 13th October, 1558, and in his inquisition, taken April 30th following, it is found that Thomas, his son and heir, was of the age of seventeen years and two mouths. He had lands in Scoles and Masborough. Thomas, son and heir of the first Michael, was father of the second Michael, who purchased Woolley, and who enjoyed it more than forty years, dying just at the commencement of the civil wars.
In 1585 Michael Wentworth married Frances, daughter of George Downes, Esq., of Paunton, Herefordshire. From the marriage settlement, which is still preserved, we find ho was then living on his property at Whitley in Yorkshire, and that his wife, who was an only child and heiress, had a jointure given her out of Mendham and Kingeshall, in the county of Suffolk. In 1610 he augmented her jointure by a grant of land in Notton in Yorkshire to trustees to hold fur her. Her father, Mr. George Downes, died at Woolley in 1603, and an inventory of all his goods is still preserved. I give it as follows : —

We now come to the time when the Weutworths left their property in the south and came to reside in Yoik- shire, near their relatives, the Wentworths of Wentworth Woodhouse, the main branch of the family. At that time there were also living close to Woolley, several other branches of the same noble family — the Wentworths of Bretton, and the Wentworths of North and South Elmsal. Mr. Michael Wentworth had at that time some property in Yorkshire, near Otley, in Kirskill, Poole, and Arthing- ton. There was a manor house at Kirskill (Creskeld), where Mr. Michael Wentworth appears to have resided during the time that he was arranging the purchase of the Woolley and Notton estate with Mr. Francis Wood- rove. The purchase ^ was settled in 1599 for the sum of six thousand pounds, as appears by the deed which is still preserved dated the 5th day of November, 1599, 41st of Queen Elizabeth. Christopher Saxton,^ the great map-

Mr. Francis Woodrove also sold a few farms in Cold Hiendly to Michael Went- worth, and there is also a survey of Cold Hiendly made by Sazton in 1605.

maker, surveyed tlio tlirce manors of WooUey, Notion, and Coldhiendley for Mr. Michael Wentworth at tliis time ; and the surveys still remain at Woolley. In the Woolley survey, ** the house of the manor, witli gardens, orchards, and courtes ' is mentioned, as also the Deer Park. In Notton, there Avere 1477 acres. The VVoodruffes had erected a conduit and laid pipes to convey the water from Woolley Common to the house at Woolley, in 1581. Mr. Michael appears to have added to the house a good deal. In a lettei* still at Woolley,^ dated Sept. 9th, 1634, from the great Lord Strafford to Michael Wentworth, it is amusing to see how carefully his lordship warns his correspondent against undue indulgence in his house-building.
Michael was a Roman Catholic : he seems to have been very unfavourable to Queen Elizabeth, and in 1603 to have been engaged in some Roman Catholic conspiracies and received a pardon for High Treason, the 9th day of June, 2nd year of James I. This deed is still preserved at Woolley. It says : I, James by the Gnice of God, King of England, by the advice of our council, do pardon, remit and release to Michael Wentworth, of Woolley, all and singular the treasons, as well great as small and cj'imes of lose Majesty committed before the 20th day of March, in the 40th year of the reign of Queen Elizabeth. Michael had a Roman Catholic Chapel in his house at Woolley, and some of the old furniture of the Chapel carved in wood still remains there. The first is Death with his scythe ; above the head is carved Ecce Homo, below is Respice finem. There is also a scull carved in wood ; below it, on a scroll, " Memento mori et non peccatis in eternum." Steady adherence to Romanism necessarily exposed Michael to persecution, and it appears that on account of his recusancy, by agreement
topographical performances that have come down to us." He usually lived at Dunningley, near West Ardsley, and had a brother Tliomas living there, a yeoman, who made hia will Jan. 14th, 1608—9, in which his brother Christopher and other membei*8 of the family are mentioned. In a suit in the Duchy of Lancaster court affecting the rights of tenants of the Wakefield Outwood, depositions were taken at Doncaster, in September, 1638, and among the witnesses examined was Tliomas Somester, of Wakefield, gent., nged 84, who testified to his having
been commissioned with "one Mr. Saxton, a surveyor of land," to survey the Ontwood in the time of James I. —
3 There was a house at Woolley at the time of the purchase which had been built by the Woodroves about the time of Henry VII., and also a deer park attached, which had been enclosed by Sir Richard Woodrovc, in Henry VIII. 's reign, but in the hands of the Wont- worths they were both much improved. See Appendix 15.
IIISTOKY OF THE WENTV\'0RTH3 OF WOOl.LEY. 7
of the I7th of James I., he was obliged to make a quit claim to Sir Thomas Wentworth, afterwards Lord Strafford, and receiver of the recusants' rents, and Thomas Wentworth, Esq., of his manor and lands in Woolley and Notton till he had paid the composition for recusants, as they were not allowed at that time to hold their own lands, unless they compounded, which he afterwards did.
Lord Strafford's letter to Michael Wentworth fully justifies the remark of Lord Houghton, that Strafford's private correspondence exhibits a gaiety of heart and habitual friendliness, that pleasantly modify the gloomy features of his historical portraiture. It shows him to have been in private life, affectionate and sincere, a sensible adviser, a generous kinsman, and a good-natured and judicious friend. His letter is still preserved at Woolley.

Sir, — My cumming into Yorkshire is very uucertaine, but I sholde hartely wish myself ther, where I might be able to doe you seruise. Howbeitt, sin you are that poore Papist you mention, your best way will be certainly to compounde with the Commissioners, which if I may know, when you intend to goe that way, 1 will write to the Commis- sioners and doe you the best helpe therein I can. If you builde a new house, remember that I tell you, itt is a matter whearin you may showe a great dealo and a great wante of discretion, itt being nothing so easye a thing to builde well as men take itt to be, that knowe it not, and therefore att your perill, looko well aboute you. I am gladde youre family still increaseth ut pluribus mxinimentis staret, and God hath sent me a second son alsoe, a young Irishman, but whearever they be borne, God make them good and honest, and then the matter is not greate. Wee of this parte of our familye you see are turned abrode into the wide worlde, whilst your partte sitt warme and at ease by your owne fire. Well itt makes not much either way. God blesse us, in our pilgrimadge, and you in your repose, keepe you with contentment wheare you are, and send us with health backe to our owne homes, to praise him, in his owne good time, and see you be merry the whilst, and wee will as much as wee can. God's goodnesse rest upon your whole household continuing wherever I am both to you and itt in blonde and affection, Your ever most faithfuU Cosin and friend

My Cousin Wentworth.
He appears to have taken Lord Strafford's advice and compounded with the Commissioners ; but, in a letter to Lord Strafford of the 24th Dec, 1G37, he complains about having been overrated, as to his recusancy composition.
HISTORY OF THE WBNTWORTHS OF WOOLLBY.
which letter and his Lordship's answer, as it relates almost entirely to his recusancy composition, I give in full. Michael Went worth * says : —
My Good Lord, — If it be a fault to take disteste receiving hurt, where help was expected, I shall not be the first offender. Your Lord- ship may if you please call to mind what passed upon my Lord Darcy's raising a good friend of ours in his subsidy : yet this is to me in burden and Charge, above the other two for one. But it is my ill hap above others, my Lord, by mistaking of my cause that to fall out more heavy upon me. For I have not one penny in the world by way of Annuity, but in Lands only and for Lands only I think I compounded the Profits ; whereof my Son doth not meddle withal, nor I protest, I, with any of his. My Omission of mentioning in my letter, the sum for which I compounded, proceeded, not as your Lordship supposed of my dis- cretion neither of my Dissimulation but to avoid your Lordship's Vexation, both to be troubled, with a rude and tedious letter, as also that I did not think it unknown to your Lordship. For fifty three pounds six shillings and eight pence per annum was my composition, and so strictly commanded, as the odd money could not be abated. Which sum being but named justifieth my complaint to them, that know the small portion of Lands, not two hundred acres, for which I am charged, not many in our country, paying so much for their whole estate, and for so small a means not any elsewhere that I can hear of. But I have done with it my Lord, and will rest content, hoping that small portion will be left me, will give me sufficient maintenance, for the few days I have to live. The loss hereby is my younger son's, for whom God will otherwise provide I hope. And thus, wishing much health and happiness to your Lordship and all yours, I humbly take leave and rest your Lordships, eldest poor Kinsman at Command

My Lord Strafford, in his answer to him dated 20 th of Sept. 1638, at Cosha, says : —

should join myself unto chearfully in any danger, which might threaten either your Person or Family, were it against the greatest Subject; where you know the raising my Father in the Subsidy, was a wanton Act, done out of Disaffection, if not Despight, which by your Favour difference th the Case exceedingly. It is very true, you had compounded for twenty, where it seems it is fifty three pounds odd money, but that odd money, makes believe the Value was found so high, in the Inquisition, as it could not be less : where the abatement would not only have been criminal in the Oomissioners but have avoided the Grant also. However it be, I have no other parte to answer for, but giving the directions, not to go against their instructions, in your Case, having no special warrant from his Majesty to support me therein, and conceiving it a matter of too small consequence, to trouble his Majesty withal. And therefore I have not been, in the least awanting to you, which justly I could or might have done. Indeed I am very sorry and will either to you, my cousin George, your children or some of you, repair any Prejudice, that can befall, unto any of you thereby, which God be thanked, is not very great. And so wishing you many years and much contentment, you do me manifest Wrong, if you think me less, than at any, indeed at all other times I have been and am Your most faithful affectionate Cousin and friend
Wbntworth.
It appears however from his recusancy papers that he agreed to compound to pay £50 yearly, as Richard Elmhurst, the col- lector of the recusancy rents, in a letter to Mr. RadclifFe, says, that "Michael Wentworth, of Woolley, in the county of Yoike, Esq., hath given bond for three yeares arrers, accordinge to his composition. His wife being also a Roman CathoHc, he had also to pay a sum of £180 by deed, dated sixth of James I. (1607), as a quietus for her recusancy, as the deed says, for that the said Fiances, by the space of nine months, did not repayre into the Parish Church of Adle, in the Countie of York, neither to any other Church or chappell, or so usual place of common Prayer, but absented herself from the same, by the space of nine whole months, without any reasonable cause, contrary to the form of the statute, made and provided, as by the said Roll of the Recusants/'
Michael had a large family, five sons and six daughters. Thomas, his eldest son and heir, died young, aged 17, 1612. There is little preserved relating to him excepting a letter from him to his father, about some business in a suit which his father had with Mr. Burdett. Michael, the second son, appears to have been in the Army about the time of the occupation of Oxford. He seems to have quarrelled with a
10 HISTOEY OP THli WENTWOllTHS OF WOOLLEY.
Royalist officer, one Culcnel Robert Minne, who held a commission under the Earl of Newcastle. A duel ensued, and Colonel Minne was killed. In consequenco of this, Sir George Wentworth, his brother, went to Oxford, where Charles I. then resided, to beg for a pardon for his brother Michael. His intercession was successful. In some memo- randa of Sir George's, he says, " As to the occupation of Oxford, my going thither, was nott to sitte in the asserabl3% but was occasioned, by a sad accident of my Father's son, who was under restraint for killing in a duel, a Colonel in the Earl of Newcastle's Army, and that done, I returnee], and stayed not above a month at Oxford." A copy of this pardon is given in Mr. John Wentworth's book of memo- landums and entries ; I give part of it. It begins " Our will and pleasure is, you forthwith prepare for our Royal signature, a Bill containinge our most Gracious pardon unto Michael Wentworth of Woolley, and Richard Gleadhill in the same county, Esq., and either of them for the death and felonious killing of Colonel Robert Minne." Richard Glead- hill was probably his second in the duel. It was agreed by a proviso in Sir George Wentworth's (his brother's) marriage settlement with Ann Fairfax, in 162i,that Michael should receive the sum of fifteen hundred pounds from Sir Thomas and Sir Ferdinando Fairfax. He died un- married, the 19th of September, 1659, and was buried at Woolley the following day. George, the third son, born in 1599, afterwards Sir George, succeeded to his father's property. Matthew, the fourth son, was Captain of a troop of horse. On the 8th of July, 1641, he was appointed by Robert, Earl of Essex, to be Captain of 120 trained soldiers, taken out of the East Riding of Yorkshire, part of the Regi- ment of Sir William Strickland, and on the 25th of August, 1642, he was appointed by Henry, Earl of Cumberland, to be Lieutenant of 133 Horse of the Trained Bands of the North Riding of Yorkshire, under Sir John Gibson. He was taken prisoner at the Battle at Selby, on the 11th of April, 1644, between Sir Thomas Fairfax and the Duke of Newcastle, when Sir Thomas gained so decisive a victory. His will was proved in 1646. By it he leaves to his god- daughter Ann Wentworth, all his plate, one silver cup, and silver plate, and one silver spoon ; to his brother. Sir George, five pounds to buy him a Ringe with a blue stone

in it; to his brother Michael, his Black Nagge, and he makes his brother John liis executor. He died in 1647, and by deed dated the 5th of June, 1647, John Level, commissary, grants administration of all his goods and chattels to John Slater, of Darton. John Wentworth, fifth son, succeeded his brother, Sir George, in the estates.
Dorothy, eldest daughter of Michael Wentworth, married John Wood, son of Anthony Wood, of Copmanthorpe, in the county of York, in the 4th year of James I. (1607). The marriage settlement is dated the 16th of January in the same year. The parties to it are Anthony Wood and Michael Wentworth. She had a jointure given her out of lands in Copmanthorpe, and Michael gave he:- £300, and agrees for one year, after the marriage, to find them meat, drink, fire and lodging and candles. Mr. John Wood had a family of eight children ; his third son, John, was an alderman of the city of York. Mr. Mathew Wentworth, by his will made in 1646, left his niece, Ann Wood, some money to buy her a ring, and to his god son, Michael Wood, twenty pounds. The Woods now live at HoUin Hall, Copmanthorpe, which came into the family in 1719. The original estate still remains in tlio family, and they have a vault there. In the year 164G Mr. John Wood was one of the trustees for the manor of Darton, with Mr. Wm. Wombwell, for Sir George Went- worth, Sir George having conveyed the manor to them to raise a sum of money for the maintenance of his daughters, Everild, Frances and Ann.
Elizabeth, second daughter of Mr. Michael, married " Thomas 01d6eld, of Wadlandes," now Woodlands, in the parish of Calverley and near Bradford. She had a thousand pounds from her father and a jointure out of Wadlandes, which manor afterwards came into the hands of the Wentworths. The rental of it in 1640 appears to have amounted to the sum of £54 6s. 8d. per annum. Mrs. Oldfield had five daughters ; Elizabeth, the eldest, married Thomas Wheatley, of WooUey, and a neighbour of Sir George Wentworth. This Thomas, on the breaking out of tlie Civil War, was engaged on the side of Charles I.^ At the time of the taking of the town of Wake- field, May 21st, 1643, by Sir Thomas Fairfax, he was a

lieutenant and one of the garrison, and was taken prisoner. He attained to the rank of colonel in the king's army, and suffered greatly in the Civil Wars. Sir George Wentworth appears to have been very kind to him, and granted him a feum of money for the maintenance of his children. Fie sold a good deal of land out of Woolley both to Sir George Wentworth and his brother John Wentwoith, and was living as late as 1674. The names of the other daughters were Frances, Mary, Kosamond and Sarah, married to Mr. Thomas lilakeley. Mrs. lilakeley had a sum of £48 paid to her out of Woodlands by Sir George Wentworth in satisfaction of her jointure. A Mr. Thomas Busby, of St. Clement's, London, merchant tailor, was made guardian for Mrs. Old- field's five daughters, and in 1612 he sold his interest in the guardianship of them to Michael Wentworth, who after- wards sold it to Mr. Richard Beaumont, of Castlehall. A capital messuage in Lepton, called Lascelles Hall, %vas granted for the jointure of these five daughters during their minorities. Mrs. Oldfield married secondly, in 1619, Thomas Beaumont, of Mirfield, son of the Richard Beaumont who was guardian to her five daughters.
Alice, the third daughter of Michael Wentworth, died unmarried. Mary, the fourth daughter, married Richard Langley, of Millington. They had a son, Christophei*, the guardianship of whom, in 1628, after his father's death, was granted to George Wentworth, son of Michael, and afterwards Sir George Wentworth. He appeals to have had some land in the manor of Coldhiendly, which after- wards came into the possession of the Wentworths ; and in 1616 he sold it to Ralph Hopton, of Armley, the lord of the manor of Coldhiendly at that time. Mr. Langley was an oflScer in Sir George Wentworth s regiment. Mrs. Lang- ley lived long after her husband, and had an annuity of £10 a year left her by her brother. Sir George, which I find John Wentworth paying to her in 1660.

Rosamond, the fifth daughter, married Bertram Reveley, Esq., of Throphill, in Northumberland, who was born at Elmsden in 1600, died the 7th of October, 1622, and was buried in the chancel of the church of Mitford, where there is a large mural monument erected to his memory decorated with arms and bearing the following inscription : —

He left at his decease an infant son, William Reveley, of Ancroft, who afterwards married a niece of the Earl of Strafford. With a body of troops raised by himself he fought for King Charles at the fatal field of Mai-ston Moor and was slain, having attained the rank of major at the deci- sive battle of Naseby. The Reveleys purchased Newton Underwood and Throphill from William, Lord Eure. Mrs. lleverley married secondly, Roger Widdrington, of Cartington, in Northumberland ; the marriage settlement is dated March 22nd, 1632. Lord Strafford is one of the parties to it ; there are also Roger Widdrington, of Carting- ton ; Roger Widdrington, of Cottwell ; Oswald Widdrington, Sir Ephraim Widdrington, Knt. ; and George Thirlwall, of Rothesay. Her husband died about 1641 ; the inventory of his goods, taken about March, 1641, is very curious, and indicates a man of taste. The gift of £100 from his uncle for the better maintenance of his "studie" and " librarye " shows that he had early manifested a love of literature, and at his death there were found in hU %\Md^

I give the inventory in full : — " In- ventory of Roger Widdrington, Esq. In prising of his apparell they did see some things in possession of Rosa- mond, late wife to the deceased, which she would not deliver. There were likewise certain webbs, etc., conveyed out of the house to Mr. Cuthbert CoUingwood's of Eslington, by the said Rosamond, who, being questioned, sent for the same again by William Revely, gent., son to her first husband. The said Roger died seized of a trunk, which at his death was at the house of Sir George Wentworth, brother of the said Rosamond, who, being desired to give her letter to the said administration, absolutely refused. The said Roger Widdrington before his death recorded in his count-book the said trunk with the parcels of the goods in it in this manner : —

The trunk aforesaid was sent away for fear of tlie Scots. These things may account for the unsatisfactory state of his balance-sheet. His goods amount to £1446 145. 7c/. ; his debts £6620 Os. 2d.
There is a curious letter from Mrs. Rosamond to her brother John Wentworth, just before her husband's death, wliich I give : —

Margaret, the sixth daughter of Michael Wentworth, married William Wombwell of Wombwell, Esq., 11th of Feb., 1628, at Woolley. She had two sons — Thomas, who was born May 18th, 1632, and married at Badsworth, June 26th, 1655, Martha, daughter of Sir Thomas Went- worth of Elmsall, Knt. ; he died 1665 and was buried at Darfield. William Wombwell was Captain of a Foot com- pany in the Trained Bands under Sir George Wentworth. His wife Margaret died in March, 1638.
In the year 1619 Michael Wentworth went up to London (ibout the business of the Earl of Suffolk, in which he appears to have been engaged. In the same year Nicholas
16

Windove, the Collector for the Green Wax Rent, came to ask for some payment of arrears for the Green Wax Rent, which were due, from Francis Woodrove, the owner of Woolley, before Michael Went worth ; he refused payment, and the collector distrained for it, and took a white mare. Mr. Wentworth complained, and an order of the Court of the Exchequer was granted him, dated Michaelmas term, 1619, to the effect that the Bayliffs or Riding Clerks for the Green Wax should not molest or disturb Mr. Michael Went- worth for any issues or payment of Green-wax due from Francis Woodrove, without first applying to the Court, or having orders for that purpose.^ The rental of Woolley in 1610 was £77 Ss. 8d. and of Notton £143 3s. 6d. The Tithes of Notton and Chevet were purchased by Michael Wentworth of Francis Woodrove, and he purchased after- wards from him 161 acres and one rood of land more, in Notton and Roystone, from the freeholders. Applehaigh Royds, a small hamlet adjoining Notton, was purchased by him afterwards, from Thomas Scawbert for £125. He duff for coal in 1600, on the Woolley w^astes, built cottages, and made several improvements on the wastes of Woolley «and Notton.
In the first year of Charles I. he was fined at the Court Leet, for the honour of Pontefract, because he did not fill up nor cover the old coal pits, by him dug on the Common of Darton Township (to the great damage of the passers-by), as he was enjoined by the penalty imposed at the last term.
In the 10th year of King James, 1613, he removed the rabbit-warren from a place called The Rakes, on the Woolley wastes, close to the house at Woolley, where the Woodroves had long kept it, to the Staincross wastes, and built a house there for the Warrener Will Dawson, who paid (JO couples of rabbits a year to Mr. Wentworth. He had a long dispute with the freeholders about the removing of

this warren, and two of them, Brownell and Crawshaw, whilst the house was building, went and pulled down the walls, and on the 22nd of June at 11 o clock at night Thomas Wheatley and Captain Rokeby went to the warrener^s house, armed with pikestaffs and daggers, and beat him shockingly and knocked him down. In the dis- pute with the freeholders, Mr. Wentworth employed Mr. Humphrey Davenport, afterwards Sir Humphrey Davenport, then Justice of the Common Pleas and later one of the Judges in the reign of Charles I. (the first who was brought up about the Ship-Money), as his solicitor. Mr. Wentworth gained his case with the freeholders. In 1624, at the motion of Sir Thomas Wentworth of Bretton, and at the request of the Woolley people, he agreed to pay 2.9. for every tax that was due to him. The Woolley taxes at that time were paid upon cattle and sheep. It was not until 1667 that it was agreed that people should be taxed upon land. In 1617 he sold some land that he had in the village of Brerehaye, near Harewood, which formerly be- longed to the ancient family of Brerehaighs, now Breareys, to Wm. and Henry Atkinson for the sum of £500.
The Manor of Whitgifte in Marshland belonged to him. In the 6th year of James I., 1609, there was a fine of 15^\ imposed upon him by the Commissioners of Sewers, because he did not repair the Staiths, in Marshland, in the manor of Whitgifte in Yorkshire. The fine was, however, put oflF till the 7th of James I. ; it appears to have been during the time of the Plague, and the Court could not be held in the house because of it, and in the 7th year of King James he was released from the fine. Owston also belonged to him ; he had the right of fishing in the river, and a certain number of salmon were to be delivered to him every year in the months of Deer., January, March, May ; the last to be delivered before the 8th of September; upon default, 7^. to be paid for every salmon. I find him bringing forward a petition to the famous Sir Francis Bacon, Lord Chancellor of England, about some land in Notton formerly belonging to the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, which had been entered into and unlawfully taken possession of by Thomas Wheatley. In the reign of Charles I. he brought forward a petition to the Court of Star-Chamber against Dame Ann Hutton, widow of Sir Thomas Hutton, for a riotous enteriuv

into his \varren ut Staincross Moor and for killing of rabbits on it. At the end of this bill there is a note in the handwriting of the famous Heneage Finch, Lord Chancellor, wlio had been Recorder of London and Speaker of the House of Commons, saying that he is of opinion, that this Bill con- tains no matter fit for the dignity of the Court if it were only concerning title ; but the erection of mcerstones and ringing of bells, if it were in an insolent and vaunting manner, may so aggravate it, as may make an ill interpreta- tion of the assembly, which otherwise would not be held riotous.
Lady Hutton, however, disputed his right to this common, it had been in dispute before, for in the reign of Edward IV. Sir James Strangways, Lord of Notton, im- pounded the sheep of the Prior of Bretton upon it. In 1604 the Archbishop of York, Matthew Hutton, wrote to the Earl of Shrcvvsbur}*^ about this dispute, saying that he has heard tliat an information had been preferred into the Honourable Court of Chancery against his good friend Mr. Wentworth of Woolley for his use and possession of Staincross Common, and that, as he thinks it will be greatly to the molestation of his poor tenants of Darton, he wishes an order to bo given for the staying of the said suit, and that it may be referred to some gentlemen in the country. Mr. Went- worth's cousin. Sir Rowland Wandesford of Pickhill, Attorney of the Court of Wards, who married Catherine Wentworth of Elmsall, took some notes for him out of the evidence showed at the first.
He showed a quantity of deeds as a proof of his having a right to the Common, and of which I give an abstract on the following pages. He however lost his suit
The deeds which Mr. Michael Wentworth brought forward to prove his right were as follows and they are neaily all yet preserved : —
Doomsday Book, proving that Notton is a very ancient manor.
Grant from Gilbert de Notton to the Convent of Bretton, of common pasture in Darton and Mapplewell.
Fine of recover3% from George Lord Darcy to Francis Woodrove, Lord of Woolley.
Lady Hutton's deeds were as follows : —

Offices, finding Sir Thomas Hutton and some others owners of the Manor of Darton.

A deposition by William Denton, that twelve years ago, the Vicar and inhabitants of Darton did perambulate the Common, in the Rogation Week, unto the heather Shepherd Thorne, where the Vicar did read a Gospel, as being one of the Meerls.
Amongst the papers which she produced to prove her right to the Common, there is a curious notice of the funeral procession of Lady Saville across this Common, from Tan- kersley Hall to Thornhill Church, where she was buried. Kichard Haigh deposes, that one Maister John Blythman, gent., dwelling at New Lathe, did read unto this deponent part of a writing which he had concerning the carryin*? of the dead corpse of one Lady Saville from Tankersley Hall unto Thornhill Church, how that the said corpse was carried from parish to parish and township, which procession was before the said corpse. And amongst others that the Vicar or Pai-son of Darton did take up the said corpse with pio- cession before them, from a Castle dike, upon a Common a little remote from North ende Nook, unto another place over the wastes, in variance called Wyndhilgate, where they set her down. This Lady Saville was daughter of Sir Edward Ayscough, second wife of Sir George Saville of Thornhill. She died in 1625.

Strafford, John Gascoigne, Esq., Thomas Wentworth, Esq., and others for things concerning the Manors of Woolley and Notton. On the 22nd of May, 1629, I find him writing to Thomas, the first Lord Fairfax (whose daughter his sou George married), to inform him of the fine in the Star Chamber. His letter I will give in full. He says : —
My Good Lord, — There was this day se'naight (the 13*^ of this mouth) a matter handled at London, concerning your Lordship with others which being so lately done, may be you have not yet had notice thereof. The bill prefen-ed in the Star Chamber, against my Lord Wentworth, your Lordship <k others by the Lord Saville, was there heard and spoken unto the issue thereof was ; the Lord Saville was fined £100, Lord Wentworth, Lord Clifford and your Lordship each of you £100 for damage. Sir Thomas Gower, Sir Richard Cholmely, Sir Edward Stanhope and two Mr. Legerdes, every one of them £50, the bill to be taken off the file, which the Lord Saville speaking against, he is ad- mitted to prosecute his Bill the next term, or to make reparation* of honour, as the Lords of the council shall think fit.
The heavy news of the Queen's delivery of Child two months before her time and that a Son was buried on the 9*** of this month, is I think no news to you. Thus with my service humbly remembered, I rest at your worships service. Michael Wentworth.
Lord StraflFord,in a letter to the Rev. Mr. Greenwood, says®: ** That he would have Venison sent to his Cosen (Michael) Wentworth of Woolley from his Park at Tankersley, and that he may command a Piece of Venison whenever he desires to have any,"
On the 5th of October, 1617, Mr. Michael entailed his Manors of Woolley, Notton, Kirskills and Poole on his third son George and his issue male. In default of issue male, to his fourth son Matthew, and afterwards to John his fifth son, and on the 3rd of October, second year of Charles 1., he .again entailed his estates. On the 27th Oct., 6th of Charles I. (1630), probably on account of old age, as he would then be 82, he made a deed of delivery of his Manors of Woolley and Notton to his sons Michael and George (and all his goods and chattels: this was 11 years before his death) except the wearing apparel, books, bedding and furniture which are now in his bedchamber and study at Woolley, and except those horses which he now has, and which are to be allowed sufficient hay and corn, and they are to allow unto

such of the children, kindred, friends, allies and acquain- tances of the said Michael, sufficient meat and drink when they should come to visit him.
He made his will on the 18th of February, 1638 — 9, and by it he orders his body to be buried in the Church of Woolley near his wife, gives his son Sir George thirty pounds, his son Michael twenty pounds, his son Matthew forty pounds, his son John forty pounds ; to every one of his daughters five pounds, to his sons-in-law forty shillings,' to his grand- children twenty shillings apiece ; his signet to Michael Wentworth, his grandchild, and his marriage ring to Averild, his grandchild, and to all his great-grandchildren . . . . markes apiece ; to all his own men twenty shiUings apiece ; and to each of his son George's men ten shillings apiece ; to every man of his husbandry five shillings and his maid-servants three shillings and four- pence ; to every boy 2^. 6d,, and to the poor of Woolley and the towns adjoining ten pounds, and makes his three sons. Sir George, Matthew and John, his executors. There are many other things mentioned besides in his will. He died in 1641, just at the commencement of the Civil Wars, aged 93, having enjoyed his estates of Woolley and Notton more than 40 years. His Inquisition was taken Sept. 9 th, 1642, and it was found that he died seized of the Manors of Woolley, Notton, Pool and Brackenholm, the tithes of Notton and Chevet, Owston, alias Wolston in Yorkshire, land in Itoyston, Darton, Brierly and Coldhiendly.
Sir George Wentworth ^ succeeded to the estates on the death of his father Michael in 1641. His father settled a fine upon him out of Woolley, Notton and Kirkskill, for his use on the 1st of January, 1617-8. He was married in 1621, to Ann Fairfax, daughter of Sir Thomas Fairfax, the first Lord Fairfax. The marriage settlement is dated Oct. 1st, 1621, between Michael, George's father, Michael, the second son, George and Ann, the intended wife. Sir Thomas, her father, the great Parliamentary Genercil, and Ferdinando, Sir Thomas's father. Mrs. Ann had a large jointure settled upon her (£12,000) out of the estates of Woolley, Notton, Kirkskill and Poole, and Brackenholme. This jointure was augmented again in the same year by a fine on lands ; Sir

Thomas Fairfax writing to liis son snys : " I have sent to Mr. Thomas Cockell, servant to Mr. Justice Hutton, £20 to pay the fine for my son Wen tworth's estate. I pray you bo careful therein and safely deliver the same, otherwise it will grieve me much. Remember my great charges in the bestowing of your sister, my small rents and the evils coming in of the same ; and the debts and other communications, which I must use moneys in, for I expect not this sura or triple so much, will pay the fine, but let Mr. Cockell disburse this cand give me an account thereof. The acknowledgment of the fine is fiom Mr. Wentworth and Mr. Haley. Mr. Justice Button's clerk hath it." Again on the 20th of April, 1622, Sir Robert Dolman, '°Sir Francis Jackson of Sharlston, Richard Wentworth of WooUey, Sir Thomas Fairfax, Sir Ferdinando Fairfax granted to George and Ann, his wife, certain messuages which had belonged to Thomas Goldesbrough, Esq. for their use. George Wentworth was knighted by James i. cibout 1622 or 1623. Sir George had two sons by his wife Ann, Richard and William. Richard, in the year 1C47, was married to Katherine St. Quintin, daughter of Sir William St. Quintin of Harpham, Yorks. The marriage settlement is dated 8th of June, 1647. In a letter from Thomas Widd- rington to Ferdinando Lord Fairfax dated April, 1647, he says to him : '* Sir George Wentworth and his son were both here last week and had a meeting with Sir William St. Quintin about the portion. The most he will condescend to pay is £1000, for the marriage being past, h^ hath the law and the measure of the portion in his own hands and the treaty for it now is not upon even grounds. I am sorry the son's act shouM be so prejudicial both to his fnther and him- self." Michael had one son called Michael who died in infancy. Sir Thoracis Fairfax, in his will dated 1635, left Michael, who was his grandchild, £10 to bestow in some jewels to wear for his sake, and Sir Ferdinando Fairfax left him £10. Michael died himself August 9th, 1658, and was buried Aug. 18 in the Church at Woolley. His widow married secondly, Sir John Kay of Woodsome, and thirdly, Henry Sands of Down, in the county of Kent.

Sir George mentions one of his sons in a letter to Sir Thomas Fairfax in 1625, saying that his child was well and more healthful than he formerly had been. As this letter is interesting I will give it in full. He says : —

All the geutlemen, within this Wapentake of Staincross are very firm for your election, as Sir Thomiis Wentworth, save only Sir Francis Wortley, who hath something wronged you and your cause, but himself moi*e.

HISTORY OP THE WEXTWOSTHS OF WOOLLBY.
Thomas had but sent his own letter it should have served him. Sir Francis Cooke and Sir Edmund Letch are labouring mj L'* of Arundel & Pembroke's people.
This letter w<as written at the time when Sir Thomas Fairfax stood for Yorkshire against Sir Thomas Wentworth, afterwards the famous Lord Strafford. The result of this election was the return of Sir Thomas Wentworth and the defeat of Sir Thomas Fairfax.
Two years after the death of his first wife he married Everild, daughter of Christopher Maltby, Esq., of Maltby, near Yarm. The marriage settlement is dated Oct. 3rd, 1626. One moiety of Maltby came into Sir George's possession partly by his wife Everild, and two parts of it he had in exchange from Mr. Warton for other lands. In a valuation of his estate. Sir George says that these two parts when they came into his possession were meadow pasture and ancient reste ground, but being uncer- tain to hold, on account of a suit which was depending in performance of the said exchange, he gave the tenants liberty to plough it for an increase per annum, £100, for certain years which are expired, although he conceived the ground would be much worse after, as really it was. He settled these lands, with others in Kirskill or Creskeld, Poole, Leathley and Arthington, upon his wife Everild for her life. Sir George had by her lands in Muston, Maltby, Filen and Yorke to the value of £133 a year. In an old paper it mentions that Sir George had " in all by Lady Everild betwixt 4 and 500/. real and personal estate." Sir George had by Everild two sons, George and Christopher, who both died young.^^
Sir George had three daughters by his second wife, Everild, Frances and Ann. In 1646 he enfeoffed to them lands and buildings of his in Brearley and Hemsworth, and by his will in 1660 he portioned out to them his manors and
^- The Maltbyswere a very old family. The first of them that I find mentioned in the pedigree is "Willielmus de Maltby in Com. £bor.

This family failing male issue, a part of their estate passed to the Morleys of Normanby, John Morley having about the year 1600 married Isabella, daughter of Nicholas Qower of Thomaby. The other moiety temp. Charles I. went to Sir Qeorge Wentworth. They bore for arms. Argent, on a bend gules three garbs or ; Crest y a garb or bearded gules.

lands in Kirskill, Poole, Maltby, Leathley, Arthiiigton and Brackenholme in the proportions mentioned afterwards.
Everild, the eldest, married John Thornhill, of Fixby, major in Sir George Saville's regiment, on the 9 th Sept., 1650. She had the manors of Creskeld and Poole, with lands in Leathley and land called Sawrie Sand. She died May 8th, 1708.
Frances, the second daughter, married Jan. 12th, 1657, at Woolley Thomas Grantham, son of Vincent Grant- ham, of Golton, in Lincolnshire. Her husband appears to have been a Parliamentarian, as, in a Proclamation of Grace, Favour and Pardon, granted to the inhabitants of Lincolnshire by Charles I. in the 18th year of his reign, he, with Sir Edward Ayscough and others, was exempted from it. She had a daughter, Dorothy, baptized April 28th, 1659. She had, bv her father's will, the manors of Wadlands and Fursley, with lands in Presthorpa.
Ann, the tliird daughter, married William Osbaldeston, of Hunmanby, son of Sir Michael Osbaldeston, Attorney- General in Ireland. She had one son, afterwards Sir Michael, and four daughters. Anne, married to Sir Mat- thew AVentworth, of Bretton, the elder ; Elizabeth, married to Sir Matthew Wentworth, the younger. She had the manors of Maltby and Brackenholme in Yorkshire. She died April 30th, 1728, aged 74 ; her husband died Oct. 6th, 1707, and they are both mentioned on a monument of the Osbaldestons in Hunmanby Church, and on a shield in the nave of the same church the arms and quarterings of her and her husband appear.
In 1634, Sir George Wentworth purchased the manor of Darton from the Huttons, and afterwards, in 1659, he pur- chased the manor and advowson of Darton. There is a curious letter from Sir George Carr about the purchase. (See Appendix F.) Sir George Wentworth bought a great deal of land in Woolley, Notton, Cudworth and Shafton of Thomas Wheatley, of Woolley. This Thomas married Elizabeth Oldfield, of Wadlands, daughter of Thomas Old- field, who married Elizabeth, sister of Sir George Went- worth. This Thomas Wheatley was a colonel in the king's army in the time of the Civil Wars. He lived to be an old man, and he used to say that Ld. Fairfax had learned some of his military skill by serving under his grandfather, who
20 Ul.VroRY OF TIIK WENTWOUTHS OF WUOLLEV,
was said to liave been a soldier, and was living in Woolley in the days of Qneen Elizabetl). Sir George also purchased some land in Brierley of Colonel Wheatley, for the sum of £650 ; £250 part of this was to be paid by Sir George Wentworth towards the jointure of Elizabeth Wheatley, Sir George's niece, and then to the maintenance of her younger children. On the 6th of February, the 8th year of Charles L, 1632, Sir George let the rabbit warren on Staincross Moor, with the house, to William Dawson, the warrener, for twenty years ; he was to pay Sir George a hundred couple of rabbits and fifty shillings yearly. The rental of Woolley in 1648 was £75 lis. It will be seen that this was less than in 1610, in Michael Wentworth's time. Most pro- bably it was on account of the Civil Wars, as they were going on at that time, and the country would be in a ter- rible state.
In 1635, the great Lord Strafford writes to Sir George from Dublin Castle, saying —
Good Cosin, — The letter signed by yourself & other of my good friends, dated at Wentworth the 7^^ of this month, and sent by Robert Wilton by the way of Scotland, was delivered unto me the 20^** of the same. The contents whereof I must confesse in regard of the present state of my affairs did at fii*st something p'plex me. But when I understood what care yorself w^^ the rest had taken and what pro- vision you have made for the placeing and setting all things in safety for the present, I receaved a greatc deale of satisfaction in that pticular. It is true, that I have lost a good & faithful Servant, one whom I held, in verie great esteeme, whose honesty (liveing) I never had cause to doubte, and (being dead) I hope it will appeare when all things are fully examined, that I was not mistaken, in the trust I reposed in him. The manner of his death, is that which troubleth me above the rest, for to dye is a Common Case, and to be by all, and at all tymes ex- pected, but to expyrc soe sodainly and in that state of distemper is a thing both fearefuU and Lamentable, for which I am most sorry.

Endorsed " My Lord Licuten<ant of Ireland, his Ire to my Cosin Wentworth."
Early in the succeeding summer, the Lord Deputy returned to England, remained there a few months, tlienco returned for the last time to his Irish Government and Wcis soon afterwards created Earl of Strafford. His downfall and unjust, if not illegal, decapitation followed. In his adversity the Earl selected Sir George Wentworth of Woolley to act in conjunction with his namesake and relative, Sir George Wentworth of Wentworth Woodhouse, Lord Straftbrd's brother, as trustees of the estates of his infant son and heir.
The person he mentions w<ag his steward, Richard Harris, and the reason he speaks so sadly and mysteriously of him was that the man died from a fall ; being on horseback and so drunk that he could not guide the animal he bestrode, he fell off into a stream and was drowned.
On the 9th of September, 1639, Sir George Wentworth lost his second wife Everild. In 1G41 he sat as representa- tive for Pontefract, with his cousin, Sir George Wentworth of Wentworth W^oodhouse, brother of Lord Strafford. Sir George served in the Army, raised under the command of Robert, Earl of Essex, in 1642, as a Quarter-Master of the Train of Artillery in the Earl of Peterborough's Regiment. His Captain was Sir Francis Fairfax. The Civil Wars were now coming on fast, and on the 25th of August, 1642, the King set up his standard at Nottingham, and soon after Sir George Wentworth placed his sword, as well as his purse and credit, at tho service of his Royal Master. On the 13th of February, 1642-3, Sir George signed the mutual agreement and reso- iutiou of the nobility and gentry of Yorkshire, that they would repay proportionally, according to their estates, all such monies as had been or should be hereafter borrowed for the general defence of the country, if the said monies could not be got by any act of Parliament or ciny other legal way. He was also one of the Yorkshire gentlemen whose names are affixed to the address, presented by them to Charles L On the 4tli of July, 1642, I find Sir George paying £4 10s. for the Soap Money Tax. Two parties wer^ competitors for this monopoly, the one being content to make the soap, after th^ accqs^iped mode, but the other

liaving a new soap, wherewitli to deterge his Majesty's lieges. It is scarcely needful to say that all female England rose against the innovation, for as a contemporary observes " It burns the linen, scalds the laundresses' fingers, and wastes infinitely in keeping, being full of lime and tallow." (See Fairfax Correspondence, Vol. L, p. 218.) According to Clarendon the renegade Noy was the suggester of the Soap Monopoly, as well as of Ship Money. Sir George Wentworth being a staunch Ro^^alist when the Civil Wars began in 1642, declared at once for the king. He raised a regiment of Foot for Charles I. out of his own estates and the country about and commanded himself as Colonel. The regiment was often afterwards reinforced at his own charge. A muster-roll of three ranks of the regi- ment is still preserved. See Appendix D.
On the 21st of May, 1643, the regiment appears to have been engaged at the siege of Wakefield. Sir Thomas Bland, Sir George Wentworth's Lieut.-Colonel, was taken prisoner there ; also Lieuts. Monckton and Carr, who were in the same regiment. It was again engaged in the same year at the siege of Leeds. Whitaker says that 1 G men were killed there.
It was again engaged at the siege of Pontefract Castle iii 1644. Sir George commanded a division there (see list in tlie Appendix E). On the delivery up of the castle to the Parliamentarians after the second siege, July 19, 1645, Sir George was one of the committee for the garrison. The history of Pontefract mentions '* As it was deemed impos- sible to hold out long, they agreed that the following persons should be chosen for treating with the enemy : *^ Sir Richard Button, Sir John Ramsden, Sir George Wentworth, for the garrison ; Mr. Hirst and Mr. Kay lor the gentry ; Mr. Hodgson and Mi*. Harebread for the clergy ; Mr. Austwick and Mr. Lunn for the townsmen ; and Lieut. Wheatley, Capt. Hemsworth, Capt. Munroe, and Lieut. Galbreth, for the soldiers. There are two old cannon balls, relics of the siege of Pontefract, still preserved at Woolley.
Sir George Wentworth, whilst at Oxford, was one of the Members of Pariiament who subscribed the letter to the Earl of Essex, January 27th, 1643. Poor Sir George, to add to his misfortunes, had his study plundered and most of

his evidences taken by the Scotch Army, who, he said, had a fire in his room. He says, " if any of these writings should come to my hands, which might now have been an advantage to me, that I may have the benefit thereof."
Ill 1643 I find Sir George Wentworth petitioning the King, with Dame Hopton, widow of Sir Ingram Hopton, lately deceased in the battle of Horncastle, Sir Thomas Dan by, Roger Nowell, Sir William Saville to be appointed ward of the eight daughters of Sir Ingram Hopton.
When the Civil Wars were over and Charles's fate decided. Sir George says, that he endeavoured to come in by Lord Fairfax's and General Poynts' certificate, but not being able to do so, he was afterwards compelled to submit and come in under the composition of Newark.^* He had to go up to London about the composition for his estate in 1646. There was a valuation made of his estates, by a Mr. Alexander for the Commissioners, who have addednotes as to howthc estates will be fined. Sir George has also added notes where he thinks the estate is overvalued. WooUey and Notton with its appur- tenances and the tithe of Notton and Chevet is valued by
^* From the Koyaliat Composition Papers we summarize the fuUowing account of Sir George Wentworth and his estates : —
His 'delinquency' consisted in that he was sometime a member of the House of Commons, and that he deserted the house and was in arms against the Parliament ; that he went to Oxford and sat in the Assembly there ; that he was a Colonel under the Earl of Newcastle and went from f^arrison to gturison held against the Parliament, as to Leeds, Wakefield, Halifax, Sheffield, York, and last to Newark, where he was when it sur- rendered. He took the National Cove- nant on 13th June, 1646. From the particulars given of his estates it appears that he held the manors of Woolley and Notton, and divers tithes, woods, lands, and tenements in those places, and iu Royston, Darton, Breareley.Coldhiendley, Morethorpe, Ryhill, Chevet, and Cud- worth, of the yearly value before these troubles of £380 ; also the manor of Darton and a water corn-mill there, and other lands, etc. in Darton. Breareley, Bargh, Maple well, Hoyland-Swaine, Bamby, and the manors of Wadlaynes and Farsely, and Presthorpe, of the yearly Talue of £230. He had a life interest
with remainder to his son Michael, in the manor of Owston alias Wolston, of the yearly value of £160 ; and, with remainder to his wife for life and then to his second son Christopher, etc. in the manor of Maultby, worth £66 a year. He was also seised of £37 4«. to be held during the life of Sir Michael Wharton, then about 80 years old, issuing out of lands and tenements in Boroughbridge and elsewhere belonging to Thomas Tankred, Esquire ; and of the manors of Poole and Kerskill, and of divers lands, etc. in Poole, Leathley and Arthington, of the yearly value of £70. Sir George Wentworth claimed to be allowed for several annuities payable out of these estates, viz. £35 to his brother Matthew and Dorothy his (M.'s) wife; £30 to his youngest brother John ; £48 to Sarah Smith; £55 19«. 4d. to Richard Beaumond, Esq., and Elizabeth his wife ; £20 to Timothy Hutton ; £32 to Rosa- mond Widderingtou, widow ; and £'20 to Elizabeth wife of Thomas Wheatley, Esq. His fine, reckoned at one-third of the entire value of his estate, was £4.30*.', '* being the greatest fine that hath been set upon any beyond Trent,*' according to a statement in one of Sir George's petitions for a modification of it ; £250 was afterwards '

tlic Commissioners at £380 per annum, and he notices, that this being estate tail, will be fined as a fee simple ; Wad- lands and Farsley a fee simple at £230 per annum ; the Manor of Darton with Brearley at £110, Owston at £1C0 per annum ; two parts of Maltby at £66, Creskeld and Poole at £103 per annum, in all £939 per annum. Sir George complains about the valuation of Owston and says, *' If the compoundees perticuler whereon ho compounds is certified from the Committees, and some pcrticulers therein overvalued as at Owston at £160 per annum, an yett in respecte of the Abatements that are made unto the tenants lor their losses, by the overflowing of the Waters and the yearly charges of maintaining the banks and so not worth yearly above £120 per annum."
On Sunday, June 10th, 1646, during the time he was pro- secuting his composition, he wrote to Lord Fairfax asking him for some assistance in it. Two months from the 6th of May were allowed for compositions under the treaty of Newark, and Sir George, who appears to have been comprised in the articles, oft'ers one of his estates (Owston) for sale to Lord Fairfax to make up the amount. 1 give the letter in full. He Scij's :

It appears that £2,000 was the sum for which he offered Owston to Sir Thomas Fairfax, from a paper which I have.
Whilst he was compounding for his estate with the Pro- tector, he was allowed to have Mr. Goordon's certificate to show the number of times it had been assessed, and he com- plains in some Memoranda, " that Mr. G. had certified butt one assessment and that there had been more.'* He adds also, " see a case in my Lord Cooke's reports as to this." His assessment papers, which he very probably brought forward
UlSTOKY OF TllK WENTWUUTIIS OF WOOLbliY. 31
to prove this, are still preserved and be has added notes to them to show where the estate is overrated. In 1646, there is an interesting letter from Mr. Edward Newton to Sir George. He seems to have been in fear of losing some of his mihtiiry equipments. Mr. Newton writes, saying —
Sir, — I have received news with the 3"^ by M*" Richardson, that your Arma ai*e yet safe and soe with my sei'vice to you & M' Ramsdeu I rest 1»« Yo" Ed. Newton.
Sir George appears liowever from some exculpatory memo- randa to have been obliged to come in and submit to the Parliament, and it appears from the following that lie wishes to have leave granted by certificate for him to do so. He says : " I wish to urge the Precedent (example) of Sir Thomas Smith, who being in Chester at the tyme of the seidge sent to Sir VVm. Brereton ^^ to desire his leave, that he might come forth and submit to ye Parliament, wch was not granted yet upon Will™ his certificate, that S' Thomas sent such a \^ to submit etc."
Mr. Charles Fairfax, in a letter from York, July 24th, 1G46, mentions Sir George Wentworth. He says: —
My Brother Wentworth is very diligent in his business to speed his work, but fears the damage of the last ordinance, that requires it before August, demands your Lordships help, that he be at no prejudice. For your Lordships many remembrances in M^ Claphams letters accept the humble thanks of your humble servant.
C. Fairfax.
Sir George, in his composition papers, says : " If I am to have the benefit of coming in before the 1st of May by Newark Articles, read the orders 31st of March, 1st of June and 3rd of September, 1646. The Coloners Certificate, that did treate on the parliamentary parts. Noe order betwixte the 31st of March (wherein every one that tendered them- selves before Deer. 1645, are allowed to come in upon the Proposition of Uxbridge, and the 1st of July and 3rd of September, when the fiist Proposition was ordered to begin, iff my tendering myself before the 1st of December will not make me capable of a 2nd. Then am I capable as coming in before the 1st of May of the benefit of the order of the 1st of March." He says also "iff benefit be granted upon

the petition for Newark Articles, I hope that I may not be excluded from it."
Sir George Wentworth was disabled from sitting for Pontefract from his adherence to the King. He suffered greatly for his loyalty, for he had to pay £3,188 for his composition. During the time of the Commonwealth, Sir George Wentworth and his neighbour and relative, Sir Thomas Wentworth of Bretton, were entrusted by the head of the house of Wentworth, William the second Earl of Strafford, with the administration of the estates belonging to him while he was absent from England. His directions concerning his tenants are still preserved at Woolley. He says, " For their arreares I will allow them the abatement of one 3'ears rent, which is all they can in reason expect, but yett to lett them see 1 desire theire welldoing, I will leave directions with my Cosens my Commissioners (Sir George Wentworth and Sir Thomas Wentworth) that there may be yet more done for them, that by these helpes they may be enabled to make good payments to mee and whether by the times or improvidence or the like, in any of them they may have had prejudice, by this means, they may be enabled to recover themselves the better, and to live well." This is dated 1656.
There are also two letters preserved from him to Sir George Wentworth, when he was abroad. The first is dated Bouen, 11 Dec, 1647; it is nearly all of it about the business of his estate. The other is dated Caen, 21 Dec. 1648; it is also mostly on the same subject. He says in it : "I cannot now write to my Uncle George, though I am verj' much to blame, in not sending him a quicker answer to some lettei'S I have from him, but 1 shall shortly write to him. I stay here expecting some certainty of the issue of the treat}^ intending my sisters should come over, and in the mean time I am taking care where it will he best for them to be.'' There is also a paper preserved, directed to George Wentworth, which appears to have been in cipher.
Sir George held the lands of John and Sir Thomas Gascoigne ^^ of Barnbro till 1656, when Sir Thomas gave him
^* N.B. — Sir Thomas GaBcoigne was Roman Catholic religion, but he wa3 afterwards brought up in 1679, on a however acquitted, charge of encouraging setting up the

£400 for them, on account of the recusancy of Sir Thomas. Recusants at that time were not even allowed to hold their own lands. Sir George, after the beheading of Charles I., like most of the Cavahers wore a ring in memory of Charles, and the memorial ring which he wore with portrait of Charles I. and inscription "Rex et Martyr" is still preserved. In 1653 I find Sir George Wentworth with Sir John Kay engaged in a suit with Dr. Robert Brownlow for debts upon two bonds, the one for £130 and the other for £20 ; this money was part of the sum which Sir George and Sir John had compounded to pay to the King by the "Engagement of the Yorkshire Gentlemen'' in 1642 when the Civil Wars were beginning. In 1649, Sir George stood bail for Roger Portington of Barnby Dunn (who was also a famous Royalist) in a sum of £3,000 in the Court of tlie Upper Bench at Westminster, lately called the Kings Bench. In 1655, the tenth part of his. Sir George's, estate was taxed for the use of the public. He says that one of . his woods called Berril Spring was spoilt in the time of the Civil Wars ; all the weavers were stolen. In 1652 Sir George granted to George Fairfax of Gray's Inn a yearly rentcharge of £27 out of Kirskill, Poole, Maltby and Leathley and Arthiugton.
The letter from Geoi-ge Fairfax to Sir George is in- teresting ; he says : —
Sir, — I thank you for ye good advice you give me ; to follow my Studies in ye Law, By so doing I shall be sure to save money (in keeping myself from all unnecessary <& extravagant expenses idle persons are liable ; & perhaps to get some in good time. 1 had neede both to save & get, what I can, for I have now both a Taylors <fe an Apothecaries Bill which Amount to a Summe of above £50 besides some small Debts to ye value of £10 more.

In 1660, there are two curious letters about Sir George Wentworth's Regiment, from Sir Marmadukc Langdale to Sir George, and Sir George's answer to him. He seems to have wished to give up the command of the regiment, from being in bad health at the time, to Sir Thomas Wentworth, of Bretton. The regiment at this time was lying in the "Wapentakes of Tickhill and StraflFord, Osgoldcross and Staincross. Lord Langdale says : —
Honored Sir,
Yesterday, as many of the gentlemen, named in this paper, as were in towne, met to consult of the best way of putting the antiont trained bandes of the West Ridinge under such gentlemen of that country as were most proper 4$^ fit to be trusted with that char^^e. We ^agreed upon this note herewith sent you, for the Kegiment of Strafford & Tickhill. We were all of opinion that it were injustice in us, to dispose of the regiment ; wherewith you have in the late warres, so faithfully served his late Majestic, without your consent, but con- sideringe, some of your frendes, alleged your desire of ease, and no further trouble in military affaires, we propounded for you that it might be disposed by your approbation upon Sir Thomas Wentworth, your kinsman, by which means in succeeding times, the right of your family to that regiment might be preserved. In the discussiuge of the present occasions. Sir Thomas Osborne made it a request, that seeing your selfe, and Sir Thomas Wentworth were nearer the regiment of Barkston Ash & Skircoke and that he himself lived within Tickhill & Straffoi*d, that he must have that wlierein he dwelt & that the other was as convenient for you or Sir Thomas Wentworth : it was desired I should write to you with what speed I could, that I might have your answer, by next, which will be on Monday sennight, all being referred to you to accept, as you please. Sir I beseech you present my most humble service to Sir Thomas Wentworth, and acquaint him & Sir Richard Tankard if he be in the country. I have made bold to name him as a fit known person, for a far greater place than his regiment, if it were in my disposal, but I heare he is on his way thither. Sir I shall expect your answer, with the first opportunity, which shall be readily obeyed by your most humble and most faithful servant
Marmaduke Lanodalb.
Sir George in his reply, says : —
My Lorde,
I humbly thanke your Lordship, for the great honour, you and the rest of the gentlemen have done me, to leave it to my choice to accept or refuse, the regiment, with which I served his late Majestie,
HISTORY OP TUB WENTWORTHS OF WOOLLBY. 35
which lyeth in Tickhill and Strafford, Osgoldcross & Staincross. The last is left out of your list. When I moved your Lordship to be spared from that service, I was extreamly ill-disposed in my health ; but since I came into the country, I thank God I am in a hopeful way of recovery. Yett my Lord I do most willingly submit to and desire the regiment may be conferred on Sir Thomas Wentworth. But my Lord I shall beg this favour, that this may not be mistaken to my declining of the King's service, for if there be occasion I will as ready to serve his Majestie as any, though in the place of a Corporal. My Lords considering of the list, you was pleased to send me, I do not find a deputy lieutenant in Claroe Staincliffe or Eucross, which will be necessary for your Lordship & the rest of the gentlemen to take into consideration at the next meeting ; all those named living at a great distance from thence. Your lettre coming to me so late, as above tenn of the clock this night and the post fetuming the next morning, I could not have time to acquaint Sir Tho. Wentworth with the contents thereof, as you was pleased to command but by the next post your Lordship shall receive a further account from my Lord your most humble & faithful servant.
George Wentworth. I conceive M' Arthington living in Skyrack more proper for Sir Thomas Osborne and M' Copeley for Sir Thomas Wentworth. My Lord Sir Tho. Osborne liveth nearer Barkston Ash than Sir Thomas Wentworth or myself. Its hard he should desire it, his father refused it, when I tooke it.
The standard of Sir George's regiment, when it was disbanded, was placed in Woolley Church. Some tattered remains of it were there within living memory ; a bar of iron, which most probably supported part of it, still marks the place. Sir George Wentworth in 1649 was appointed one of the trustees for the appointment of a minister for the Chapel ^^ of Bramhope, near Otley, with Walter Hawksworth and others. Coal was got on Sir George Wentworth's estate on Staincross Moor, and Sir George in 1652 let his coal-pit there for £20 yearly, and thirty wayne load of coals.
^^ Thia chapel was begun to be built this year, 1G49.

FISHLAKE RECTORY.
By F. ROYSTON FAIRBANK, M.D.. P.8.A.
Tub advowson of Fishlake was given by William, Earl Warren, along with that of his other Yorkshire churches, to the Priory of Lewes, in the county of Sussex. Lewes, being an "Alien Priory," was subject to seizure of its temporalities whenever there was war between England and France. The advowson of Fishlake was actually so seized by Edward IL, who, remembering that it had belonged to Earl Warren, freely delivered it to the said Earl, with the profits received from it. In the Catalogue of Rectors of Fishlake given by Hunter {South Yorkshire^ vol. i.), the result of all this is shown as follows : —
1242. TozeremunduB de Farenze, instituted H kal. Oct. on the presenta- tion of the Prior and Convent of Lewes. ^

1328. Geoffrey de Cotes, on presentation of Edward III.

1351. Richard Maleverer, Mar. 21, presented by Ralph, Lord Neville. The grounds of his presentation (says Hunter) do not appear, nor those of Alice, his relict, who presented the next clerk, nor of the two presentations of the Scropes which follow ; but the advowson of this church is put in the inquisition p. m. of both Ralph and Alice Neville, 41 and 49 Edward III.

I have ascertained the cause of the lay presentation, so far as the Nevilles were concerned, to have been as follows : — In 25 Edw. III., the Prior and Convent of Lewes, feeling the inconvenience of being ranked as an alien priory, gave up to the king the advowsons of the churches of Fishlake, and Sandal Magna, in Yorkshire ; Riston, in the diocese of Norwich ; Whaddon and Caxton, in diocese of Ely, on con- dition that the Convent, together with its cells at Castleacre, Prittlewell, Farleigh, Horton, and Stanesgate, should be considered native and not alien houses. This is set forth in the patent granted 47 Edw. III., given by Dugdale {Monas- ticon, 1st Edit., I. p. 618),

The advowson having come into the king's hands, he at once effected an exchange with Ralph de Neville for the manor of Eure in co. Bucks.

MURAL PAINTINGS IN PITTINGTON CHURCH.
By the Rev. J. T. FOWLER, M.A., F.aA.
[It has been thought that the following article and illustrations, recently printe I in the Transactions of the Durham Archaeological Society, will be acceptable to our readers in connection with the St. Outhbert window at York, and particularly with the references to the Pittington paintings in our eleventh volume, pp. 496, 498. Some references to the English Metrical Life of St. Cuthbert, receutly issued by the Surtees Society, are here added.]
In Mr. Barmby's paper on " Pittington and its Church " (Durham and Northumberland Archaeological Transactions, 1880-5), certain fragments of mural paintings in the church are mentioned, and a hope is expressed that a representation of them will be published by the Society. In the course of last year, coloured drawings, full size, were made by Mr. N. Hamlyn, then of Bishop Hatfield's Hall, who took careful tracings in the first instance, and then, having transferred these to paper, coloured his outlines on the spot. Tlic accompanying illustrations are reduced facsimiles of Mr. Hamlyn's drawings, done by Mr. W. Griggs, of Peckham, one-eighth the size of the originals.
As is stated in the paper just referred to, these interesting fragments occupy the splay of the westernmost of the Norman windows above the Norman arcade. They are, no doubt, portions of a complete series of paintings once occuping the whole interior of the first Norman church, and their date between c. 1070 and c. 1150. There are tradi- tions of paintings formerly covering other parts of the internal walls. These traditions would naturally be sup- posed to have reference to some post -Reformation decora- tions, such as texts within elaborate borders, Moses and Aaron, King David, Time and Death, or the like. But there is no record in the Vestry-Book, which dates from 1584, of any whitewashing over of old pictures or painting of new texts, etc., thougli tliere were charges for these at St. Oswald's, Durham, in 1595, and similar work had then been done at St. Margaret's. A parishioner, lately dead, remembered an old man who used to speak of the church being full of paintings inside. These may have been for the

most part destroyed in 1807, when tlie church was greatly altered. The surviving paintings have owed their preserva- tion, first to a gallery which concealed and protected the disused window-splay, and then to a former vicar, Dr. Miller, who stopped the workmen in the act of destroying them. They represent two incidents in the hfe of St. Cuthbert, viz., his consecration by Archbishop Theodore, and his vision at the table of the abbess iElflede.
The former of these (PI. I.) is partly destroyed, but what is left is in fair preservation. Neither of the paintings has any appearance of having been whitewashed over, which confirms the tradition that points to other paintings existing when the gallery was put up. The illustration speaks for itself. Theodore is pouring the anointing oil on Cuthbert's head from a large flask or cruet, while holding his crozier in his left hand. This consecration took place in York Minster, March 26, a.d. 685, and the words used by Theo- dore in the act of anointing would doubtless be similar to, if not identical with, those which we find in the Pontifical of Egbert, Archbishop of York, a.d. 732-766 (Surtees Soc, vol. 27, p. 3). *'Modo mittendum est oleum in caput ejus. Unguatur et consecratur {sic) caput tuum ccelesti benedic- tione in ordine pontifical!. In nomine Patris et FiHi et Spiritus Sancti, Amen. Pax tibi. Et cum spiritu tuo." We find the same form in the Pontijicale Ronianum, but with the correct re«iding, '• consecretur.'' The hands were, and are, in the Roman rite, anointed as well as the head, but the artist has chosen the more striking and characteristic act. Over the Archbishop's shoulder we see the head of Ecgfrith, King of Northumbria, who was present at the consecration, together with seven Bishops, including Theodore (Beda, Vit. S. Cuthb., xxiv. ; Eccl. Hist., iv., xxviii. ; Vit. Anon., iv., 30, Engl. Metrical Life, p. 80. The same subject is treated somewhat differently in the St. Cuthbert window in York Minster, and again in the St. Cuthbert paintings on the backs of the stalls in Carlisle Cathedral, both of which are much later in date. In neither of these is the act of anoint- ing represented. The accompanying couplet at Carlisle is

The second subject is St. Cnthbert's vision at iElflede's tabic. I will now quote the story from my account of the St. Cutbbert window at York (Journal, iv., 340). " When Cuthbert, con- scious of approaching death, resolved to return to a solitary life, he nriade a farewell visitation of his diocese and acquaint- ance. While thus engaged, as he was sitting at meat with the abbess iElflede in her monastery at Osingadun (near Whitby) he suddenly turned his mind from the carnal feast to the contemplation of spiritual things. His limbs shook, his colour changed, his eyes looked astounded, and his knife dropped. The abbess asked him what he had seen, and he at first playfully dissembled, asking her if she thought he could eat the whole day. But as she urged him to reveal the vision, he said, ' I have seen the soul of a certain holy person borne up by the hands of angels to the joys of the kingdom of Heaven.' She asked, ' From what place was he taken ? ' He replied, * From your own monastery,' and on her asking the name of the person, he said, * To-morrow, when I am celebrating mass, you shall yourself tell me his name.' She now sent to her greater monastery (Whitby) to make inquiry, but the messenger found all well there. On his return the next day, however, he met some persons carrying in a cart the body of a deceased brother to be buried, and found that it was one of the shepherds, a holy man, who had climbed a tree and fallen down, and was so much injured that he expired at the very time when the man of God had seen him borne up to heaven. The messenger at once told the abbess, who immediately went to the bishop, then engaged in dedicating the church, and, with woman-like astonishment, ^ I pray you,' said she, * my lord bishop, remember during mass the soul of my servant Haduuald, who died yesterday, by falling from a tree.' Thus was manifested the spiiit of prophecy in the holy man." (Beda, Vit. S. Cuthb. xxxiv. ; Vit. Anon, iv., 39 ; Engl. Metrical Life, p. 95.) This interesting story has afforded a favourite subject for pictorial illustration, and has been represented in much the same way in all cases, though with more or less of detail. In the St. Cuthbert window at York two angels are receiving Haduuald's soul in clouds above. In an illuminated MS. containing lives of St. Cuthbert, now in the Library of University College, Oxford [MS. clxv.], but probably in Durham Abbey
MURAL PAISTIHGS IN PITTISGTON CHURCH. il
originally; is a picture remarkably like tlie Pittington wall- painting. The date of the MS. is about A.D. 1085, and the artist employed at Pittington may probably have seen it. There, however, St Cuthbert is nimbed, and the knife is just dropping from his hand.
In the " Lawson MS.*' at Brough Hall, of about a.d. 1 1 50, the subject is treated in a very similar way, but Haduuald's fall is shewn in a separate picture. Here, too, the knife is dropping from Cuthbert's hand ; a man in secular attire is delivering a letter to the abbess. The mural painting at Pittington is well represented in our illustration, but it should be explained that the 3'ellow lines in the middle indicate all that can now be seen of the trunk of the tree, the branches and foliage of which have quite disappeared. The cross-buns or loaves appear also, as will be seen in the Oxford MS., while the fish and the covered cup are in the Lawson MS. (Yorks. Arch. Journal, iv., 339, 340). The subject does not occur in the Carlisle series. It is hardly necessary to remark that we often find in the same picture two or more incidents that happened at different times. And so here we have Haduuald's fall and Cuthbert's ngitation, and (apparently) the messenger telling ^Iflede. Possibly she is sending him to make inquiry, but in the Lawson MS. he is delivering the letter while they are still at the table, although according to the accounts the message came on the next day, while Cuthbert was in the church.
It is fortunate that we have been able to secure good representations of these interesting paintings before it is too late. They are suffering from damp in the walls, and from long exposure, and as seen from the floor of the church are less distinct, both in outline and in colouring, than would appear from our illustrations. Great care however was taken not to introduce anything into these which could not be seen on close inspection.^

^ Fontefract appeal's not to have ac- quired that name at the time of the Domeaday survey, when it was surveyed under the name of Tateshall, and was said to have had as many as 16 carucates of cultivable land, which was, moreover, **8ine geldo," probably as the former hereditary |>o6iiession of the King, though it had then been granted out to llbert. It was reported to have been able in the time of Edward the Confessor to support only 9 ploughs, but in its luter condition not only had the lord four ploughs in his own demesne, but he had 16 villanes and 8 bordars, who had among them as many as 18 ploughs, while there were 60 lesser burgesses and 16 cottars, it being the only place in the wapentake which had either. There was a church and a priest and a fishery, and three mills ; for although the manor did not border on any large river, two brooks of some capa- city had their course within it. These united near the site of the monastery, and formed a considerable stream, which, having given motion to the East Mill in Bondgate, left the township and became the line of division between the two manors of Knottingley and Ferry. This stream is now very attenuated, many of its feeding springs having been, during the last few years, diverted into the re- cently-constructed main drain; but at the time of the Norman domination it
was of some considerable capacity. Of the three mills mentioned in Domesday, the East or Bondgate Mill and the West Mill were water-mills, and ultimately each belonged to the monks; but the third, a windmill, was at the west end of the town, on the borders of Carleton and Tanshelf. This had formerly be- longed to the lord (see the Compotus of Henry de Lascy in vol. viii. 363) ; but for many generations it had been the property of the Corporation till its de- struction by fire 60 or 70 years ago. It was then ruled that it was not worth re- building, and the site was sold. (It may be mentioned parenthetically that such mills were generally on a selected site, at the borders of two or more manors, where they could accommodate the in- habitants of each, and that the position of the site seems to indicate that the bordering manors were in the hands oi the same lord at the time of the selection of the site of the mill.) These Pontefract mills were of unusual value, as much as 42 shillings in all, quite an exceptional amount, fur the vulue of such erections was seldom more than three or four shillings. Indeed, the only mills in this neighbourhood which exceeded that value were those at Kirk Smeaton, itself a great centre of population and activity ; and the two mills of even such a place re- turned 9«. Ad. only. Tateshall had three

acres of meadow and a woody pasture of a league long, and half a league broad, while the whole manor was only of that breadth and half as long again. Thus, whatever those measures may mean, two- thirds of the whole manor was wood. Its total value had been in the time of the Confeesor as much as 4^20; but al- though its arable acreage had so largely increased, as I have above shewn, its rateable value was 25 per cent, less, having been reduced to £1.5, still, however, a considerable sum ; and within its bounds were contained the alms of the poor. This memorandum, which points to the possessions of St. Nicholas Hospital, is more dearly defined in the Recapitula- tion, which adds to the stitement that the manor contained 16 carucates **aud two carucates in alms." This rather indicates that the almsland was a tithe of the whole, or at least two out of eighteen carucates. The Tateshall of the Domes- day p^iod seems to have comprised several hamlets or districts, the name of one of which, where the monastery happened to be located, and in which were the water-mills, has sometimes been supposed to have been that of the whole manor. But such was a mis- apprehension. Kirkby was indeed the bMnlet which was the centre of the active life of - the lordship : for it had the Church and the Castle, the Mills and the Monastery ; but the name belongs only to that which is stUl called the "Old Church,** or the " Low Town." None of the upper town, or of the outlying dis- trict, is ever by any chance called Kirkby. The name of Pontefraot is of compara- tively late origin ; and, indeed, the autho- rities of the last century agree to ascribe it to some miraculous circumstances attending the breaking of a bridge, on the occanion of the entry of Archbishop William into York in 1154. But investi- gation shows that the place already had the name at least thirty years previously ; and the fact seems to be that it was so called because it was entered over a bridge with only one abutment, and which would therefore appear to a horse- mao or a superficial observer as having one aide broken away. The Bridge — Bubwith Bridge is its modem name — is in the centre of the eastern boundary of the manor, and to it the roads from the west, from Ferrybridge and from Knottingley, oooverged, while part of -the Koman road from Castleford to Wentbridge forms tlie base of a triangle of which those two
roads are the two sides, and this Bridge — broken as it appears— is the apex. — The Poll Tax of 1375 comprised the names of 608 persons, of whom 488 paid id,, 75 tradesmen or artisans paid 6d., 28 of a superior class paid 12(f., 7 paid 2$., 6 paid half a noble or three and fourpence, and 4 paid a noble, half a mark, or six and eightpence. These last four moneyed men of the town were William Baylay, merchant (will dated 18 Aug., proved 2u Dec. 1391) and Johanna his wife, who kept three servants, Nicholas, Isabella, and Agnes ; John Gay ton, merchant (will made the Thursday following St. Nicholas day, 1387, proved some tiuie in 1890), and Margaret his wife ; he kept two servants, William and Matilda; Robert de Beal, draper, and Magot his wife ; and Thomas Klys, sergeant, and Joanna his wife, who also kept three servants, Robert Cok, Robert and Elisabeth. The six who paid 40 pence were William Boteler and Cecilia his wife ; John Roller, merchant, and Agnes his wife ; William de Karleyl, osteler ; John de Balne, lister, imd Emma his wife (against whose estate there was a Probate Act on 6 Oct. 1392); John Clerk, franklin, and Johanna his wife; and John de Elmesall, mercer, and Johanna his wife. The seven who paid two shillings «ach were Thomas BoUay and Matilda his wife; William de Tan- rhelf, barker, and Alice his wife ; Adam Holman, merchant and Isabella his wife ; Adam Vause, merchant, and Margaret his wife ; Nicholas Fletcher, oattle-doder, and Agnes his wife ; John de Tankerley, merchant, and Matilda his wife ; and John Spioer, draper, and Alice his wife. The 28 who paid 12(f. each included 6 skinners, 4 ostelers, 3 cattle-dealers, 2 barkers, 2 drapers, 2 pardoners (sellers of Papal indulgences), and 1 each mason, lister, cutler, spicer, smith, coverlid maker, flesher (butcher or dealer in flesh), sadler. bowyer and marshalL The 75 who paid 6cf . were 12 websters,. 11 tailon^ 9 8miUiay9 souters, 4 spicers, 4 tavemera, 4 walkers, 8 sadlers, 3 wrights, 2 each drapers, coopers, barkers, bowyers, barbers, and listers, and 1 each chapman, cord- wainer, tailor and bakester. Those at fourpence comprised small householders, adult servants, and grown-up children at home. In this class were 197 married householders with two adiUt male children, and 8 adult females ; 12 male servants and 12 female servants.

There were 38 single men or widowere keeping house, and 64 single women or widows. Tlieso had depending on them 1 mother, 5 male and 4 female children, with 9 male and 12 female sei-vants. The dependants on the superior classes were also taxed at four|>ence each, and these comprised 1 motlier, 6 adult male chil- dren, and 9 females ; 58 male servants, 48 female servants, and 2 married ser- Tants.

The names present no marked peculiarities, but there is an Alice Mustardmaker and a John Mustardman, while the occurrence of a Matilda Be- verege reminds me that that name was in use in Pontefract in the early part of the thirteenth century ; i.e., about a century and a half previous to the date of the Poll Tax of 1378.
'' The date should be 27 Feb., not 28. The document was issued from Punt Audemer in Kormandy.
^ As a consequence of the second and final forfeiture of Robert de Lascy in 1 122, his lands at Pontefract were (fi^cn to Hugh de Laval, at whose death in 1131 they were granted for fifteen years to William Msltravers, with custody and marriage of the widow, and charge of her widow's share, 20 knights' fees, a third of the sixty which constituted the Honour of Pontefract. This new lord, Wm. Mal- travers (not Henry Travers, as the name is sometimes given) and his wife Dameta united in at least two gift« to the monks of Pontefract. These were a bovate of land in Thorp, and a mark yearly so long as Maltravers should continue to hold the Honour, the latter gift beiug in consider- ation of their teuii>orary uon-assertion of a claim of right iu the church of Whalley. The possession of the Honour by William Maltrsvers was, however, but brief; f«>r the King dying towards the close of 1135, this intruding lord was murdered by one Paganus, a tenant of the Honour, and a partiiian of Ilbert, son of the depiived
and deceased Robert de Lascy. Ilbert, who had just come of age, then obtained a grout from the new king of thoae two- thirds of his aucestral estates which had been held by Mai travers, the leniainiiig third continuing in the possession of the de Lavals, and being inherited hy Quy, son of Hugh. He, or his successor of the same name, was reported thirtjr years afterwards as still holding the 20 knights' fees (less 1^), or a third of the Hooooc And a Quy de Laval — for it was a p<»nt with this family that its head should be a (Juy (Hugh was almost a solitary ex* ception) — continued to hold this third for nearly seventy years, till, in fact, the de- privation referred to in the text. [Quoting HuUdre de TabU, par M, Menage^ Bum, in "Paritth Registers," says :— I'he then ** Guy de Laval was so fond of the name of Quy that he desired leave of Pope Paschal IL (1099— 1118) that all hie eons aud their descendants might be called by that name. . . . This was confirmed bj Philip I. of France, and Guy da LaTal, the seventh of that name, ratified tlw privilege, and ordained by his will In 1268 that the eldest son of the house of Laval should bear the name of Guy, and the arms of Laval, on pain of losing the lordship of Laval," page 74]. The Out do Laval of the time of King John hao, at the beginning of the war, a charter of special protection from the King^ but be had been all the winter in disgrace, and was now practically compelled to chooee between his possessions in France and those in England. Even in December his lands had been in the hands of the crown, on account of his rebeliicm, for in that month King John had preeentcd I'hoinas de Camera to the church ol Ksson by right of the lands of Guy de Laval. Now, however, a seal was put as it were to his deprivation, for the Ponte- fract lands were restored to Roger de Lascy, a Lascy of the new line, after they had been withheld from the Lascy family for 81 years.

^ The date of this Walter de Toulouse is nufficiently fixed* by his having been a witness to several of the Pontefract charters, mud especially to one ^iven to the monks of Pontefract by Hugh Koliot, the holder, in 1166, of a knight's fee under Willialn de Percy (see vol. xi. 445). He was also one of the witnesses of a re- markable charter to the same monks from the first Robert de Stapleton, by which he exchanges with them a toft in Southgate; Pontefract, *'for three bovates of land in Osmundthorp, which he formerly gave them in exchange for land in Armley, which formerly they had from his gift and grant.*' Uobert de Stapleton, the earlier of the two Roberts, was at the time contemplating the gift of his manor of Osuiundthorp to the Knights Tem- plars of Newsome ; but as he had already maimed it by giving these three bovates to the Pontefract monks, he desired to re- claim them by the substituted gift of pro- perty in Pontefract, which was more ad- vantageously situated for the donees; and accordingly he made this exchange. But the land at Osmundthorp {Ossetorp in Domesday) was itself exchanged land, having been given by him to them in exchange for land at Aimley which he had formerly given them ; Mud these few words form the only intimation, so far as I have learnt, that the Stapletons ever had possessions in that manor, which wa^ one of those obtained by Ligulf, and to which he was, as it were, transplauted after his supereession at Keatherston. It should Im noted that these Stapletons of Pontefract were an entirely distinct family from the Staple- tons of the Lower Division, the ancestors
of Lord Beaumont, though they are often confused with them. (But see post, Stapleton.)
*"" These Wakefields were, for many generations, an important family in Pon- tefract. The William named in the inscription had been one of the collectors of a grant of a whole fifteenth and a whole tenth, granted to the King in 8 Henry V. [1414], and the account of its collection is still extant in the Record Office, 206/64. But we shall meet with an earlier William de Wakefield under 6KELBR00K. For a Ralph de Wakefield, probably his son, had been taxed in Pontefract on the Nonse Rolls, as early as 15 Kd. in. [1342], and a William with his wife Alice were impleaded by Edmund de Bottler in 30 Ed. I. [1302] [see post, p. 71]. The will ofstill another William W. of Pontefract (probably son of the William named in the text) is at York (Wills, iv. 426, dated Sept. 20, proved Oct. 4, 1466). Ue left his body to be buried in the chapel of St Katherine (and thus perhaps gave the name of Wakefield to that part of the church, which Dodsworth called the North Quire; it was a north chapel at the western end of the Quire); his mortuary to be according to the custom, lie left 68. Sd. to the gild of Corpus Christi, and a like sum to the fabric of the church for his burial. Ue had no almn for either monk or friar, but the residue went to " Alice my wife, for the good of my soul, and the maintenance of my sons and daughters." There in in Glover's Visitation, a pedigree of six generations beginning with still another William and ending with one of again the same name, in whom the family

[There is no reference in 800 ; but it should be Y [vol. 155] 83.] The
charter of the liberties of the Bargesses of Pontefract^
ultimately died out. His father Joshua had been the last Wakefield resident in Pontefract, for William, the last of the name, had married Ann Frank, of Camp- salH and become vicar of Sessay. He had no male heir, but the purpose of marriage between John Hitching of Pontefract and Faith Wakefield of Csesar [Sessay] was published in Pontefract on 4, 11, and 18 March 1654-5. The marriage produced at least three children, but only a daughter, another Faith, survived infiincy. Mr. Hitching and his wife nearly attained their golden wedding; she died in 1700 ; he survived for fifteen yeats (Feb. 24, 1715-16, John Hitching of Carleton. Esq., buried in the Chancel — Pontefract Register). But see the Pontefract Booke of Entries.
^ Dodsworth must have misread this
inscription, for in fact , Thomas Chaloner, the vicar, died in 1488, and his will was proved at York on July 30 that year [York Wills, v. 83 ; d. May 20, 1482 ; p. July 30, 1483]. A marginal note of ** 1433 " in Dodsworth 's own MS. emphasises the mistake, and shows thut it was more than a mere miscopying.
2 4 H. 7 [1489] is added, but the hand- writing does not correspond with that which made the previous entry and the two deeds should be compared. I do not meet with the name of Cookson at Pontefract. But in 1509 there was a mayor named Thomas Cookia, whose will, dated October 16. 1515, was proved the following November 4 [York Wills, ix. 22].

* Thn confusion and uncertainty as to the dates of the documents connected with the Suppression of Monasteries is very remarkable ; and it is made not only by carele.u transcribers, but by writers
who attempt to be accurate. In this case a document known to be 16 Dec. 30 Henry 8, is carefully marked as 1537 instead of 1538, which is the correct date: since 30 Henry 8 commenced on *i2 April, 1538, and extended to '21 April, 1 559. Indeed, so inveterate is the eiror that even Wright's Suppression of Monas- teries indexes and arranges these docu- ments in incorrect order, confuses the two visits of the commissioners to Ponte- fract, that to the Black Friars in 153d here referred to, tuid that to the monas- tery of St. Juhn's in 1539, even placing thiti latter, which happened in November 1539, before that to the Black Friars, which happened in December 1538, and was the earlier of the two by elrveu nioii1h>.

i< Thia MS. should be in the library at NoBtell. I borrowed it in 1868 from the Imte Mr. Chas. Winn, and having made notes and extracts from it, re- turned it to him in the course of a few ireeks ; but I regret to say that it cannot now be found. It is a thin small folio of perhaps 40 leaves, and my impression of the handwriting is that it was of about 1500.
^* The word "second** is interlineated, but the history is almost wholly inaccu- rate. Henry was not the son of Ilbert, and Robert son of Heury did not found St Nicholas UospitaL St. Niclioliui reems to have been a very old Saxon foundation, endowed with a tenth of the whole manor. It was possibly re-founded by the first Robert (son of ilbert), not by Robert his grandson. The Henry re-
ferred to was the son of the founder, not his father. (See notes ^ and ^\ vol. xi., pp. 47, 49.)
*7 Dodsworth gives this heading only, and not the Bull itself. But altogether there must be some strange mistake involved, for in 1118 there had been no llbert the son. The 4th year of the Pontificate of Alexander III. was 1163, which might be the date intended ; except that (as in note ^) a marginal reference sanctions and corroborates the blunder. But if so, then another difficulty arises In 1163 there had be«n no Robert, son of a second llbert ; for the second llbert hsd no son, while Robert, the second, did not succeed to the inheritance for nearly a quarter of a century after the year of the Bull, supposing that it is of 1168.

^ Rawcliffe also is in the parish of Snaith, and like every other manor in that extensive parish, was neglected in the Domesday Survey, perhaps because unsettled. At the time of the Poll Tax in 1378 the taxpayers numbered 130. Of these 121 were assessed at Ad., 6 at 6cf., 2 at 12(£., and one at 40(2. The 6 at 6(/. were a fisher, a shipman, a tailor, a smith, and 2 websters. The two at 12d. were a merchant and a baker; while William de Wygan, a franklin, paid 40d The connection of the place with Selbr Abbey is evidenced by the existence ou the Roll of the name of William, servant to the abbot of Selby ; and the exiateuce uf a parochial chapel by the names of William, servant of Sir John, Chaplain

Thirt was valued at the enormous sum of 10,000 marks, and only a fraction of the wreck was preserved.

^ Before the Conquest Skelbrook was owned by Qodric and Alwin, who had three carucates which cuuld employ 4 ploughs. The geldable value of the manor wa» £i. At the survey it be* longed to Ilbert,whohad subinfeuded it to Hervey de Compels. He had two ploughs on his demesne, while 9 villaue'i and 2 bordars had 4 ploughs. In the Poll Tax of 1378 24 taxpayers were enrolled, only one of whom, Peter del Hay, seijeant, paid more than id. The charge ou him was t>«. 8(i. Skelbrook has a medieval extra-parochial chapel, which was clearly not in existence when the manors of this and the neighbouring wapentakes were consolidated into parishes, and allotted to the various churches then existent. Had there been such a chapel at Skel- brook, it would in due course have become the centre of a parish. This was about 1180, in the time of Henry II. and abp. Roger. The Skelbrook chapel, however, had been founded before the York Dio- cesan records commence, early in the reign of Henry III. Its erection may, there- fore, be considered as having taken place between 1180 and 1220. It is dedicated to St. Michael, and was on the borders of three parishes, but seems to have belonged to neither. It was in the patron- age of St.Mary Magdalen of Monk Bretton, and had the arms of that convent (three
covered cups) in the centre of the hoo<l moulding of the western window, in the lower. The occurrence of these anus favours the supposition that it was the chapel of St. Michael at Skelbrook which wa4 alluded to in the *' Ballad of Robin Hood."
" I built me a chapel in Bamisdale, That seemly is to se ; It is of Mary Magdalene, And thei-eto would I be.'*
Except my own remarks, six years ago, in Notes and Queries (7th S. I. 64), which were unsuccessful in eliciting a reply, I have observed neither comment upon, nor attempt to explain, this very definite statement. Though the question deserves consideration, what w.is the position of the chapel in Barnsdale, the foundation of which was thus claimed by Robin Hood to have been made by him, and dedicated or connected with St. Mary Magdalen. For it is remarkable that all the conditions of the verse are exactly met by this chapel the date of which, according to the limitations I have laid down, correspond as nearly as can be ascertained with that of Kobin Hood, eay the last quarter of the twelfth centuiy. And it is also quite a possibility that iis neighbourhood was the scene of Hobin*s encounter with the FriHr, when each carried the other over the Skell, which might OS easily be the Skell in BaruK- dale of Skelbrook, Skeldale and Skellow, as the Skell at Fountains. In that case the wandering Friar would not be the discordant feature in the landscape, which ho is at the gate of an abbey o£ Cistercian monks.

'^ As a matter of &ct I find nothing to corroborate the statements contained in this extract. I find no other mention of a iMor Henry at this time {dr. 1200), nor of a Copley holding land in Skelbrook till its purchase was made by John Copley in the early part of the 17th century. After that date the Copleys held it for 1 50 years. But the ** Henry " might be a mistake for Prior ''Hugh,** who was the great Prior here towards the dose of 1200. Prior Hugh was in the Commission to enquire into the misdoing^ and defaults of Archbishop Q«tuffirey in the last decade of the twelfth century. He was a long-lived and cele- brated man, whose priorate was so ex- tended that there was hardly the time for any other prior during the apace in which Adam FitsPeter held Birkin. Be- fore becoming prior this Hugh had been •eoretaiy to the house, so that he wa<» a
man of some business habits. It was to this prior that Pope Celestine addressed the Bull to be found in the Monasticon, No. VI., and it is remarkable that the editors of that collection profess a doubt AS to which Pope Celestine was the author of that document. For there are at least three marks which make the supposition impnsidble that it could have been granted by Pope Celestine II., who died in 1144 : (1) It refers to the dedication of the monastery (in 1159) as to a time long past; (2), it styles Roger, who died in 1181, a "quondam** archbishop; and (3), it speaks of the receiver of the heir of Henry de Lascy as if Henry had already died and his heir had had time to establish a custom of receiving his rents in a certain way. This alone makes it clear that the Pope Celestine of the Bull must be the third of that name who ruled 1191—1198; and that the prior to whom it was addressed about 1195 or 1196 was the great Prior Hugh,

'7 This chantry was destroyed at the Reformation, the ground it covered absorbed by the churchyard, and the space between the pillars which separated it from the chancel walled up, the arches of the pillars being still to be seen. But the site has again been built upon and occupied by a mortuaiy chapel. Skel- brook chapel is here said to be of St. John ; but Lawton ascribes it to St. Michael. Jn this connection I should again like to direct attention to the verse in the " Ballad of Robin Hood :"—
" I built me a chapel in Bamisdale, That seemly is to se ; It is of Mary Magdalene, And thereto would I be."
This can refer only to the chapel at Skelbrook in Bamsdale, the one chapel in the district ; which chtipel the ballad clearly attributes to Robin Hood. The phrase "it is of Mary Magdalene " would refer to the prior of St. Mary Magdalen, which had the presentation, and whose 3 covered cups were then on the west front, clearly to be seen by any passer-by. The shield bearing them has lately been removed to the south door. The tower has three bells, two being of pre-Reformation date, and certainly not later than the fourteenth century. ^ This seems to be a mistake,- The
name should be William de Ormesby, who acted as a justice itinerant before he was appointed to the King's Bench in 1291.
*® Scanhalla was surveyed in the Domesday Survey as being five manors, held in the pre-Norman times by Glunier, Norman, Elsi, Adelo, Lovecol. There were then four carucates of taxable land which could employ three ploughs. It was subinfeuded by Ilbert to William Pictavus, who gave two garbs from tho manor to the foundation of St. dementis Chapel in the Castle. He had one plough in his demesne, and 12 villanes with 5 bordars had four ploughs. At the Poll Tax assessment in 1378, 62 taxpayers were assessed, 50 at 4(^., 10 at 6<i., and 2 at 12c£., making the total of 23«. 8c/. The 10 at 6d. were 1 bowyer, 1 faber, 1 skinner, 1 smith, 1 souter, 4 tailors and a walker. The two atl2<i. werea draper, and William de Frickley, the farmer of the Grange. Among the named are Jane May dew, Margaret Modir, and Alice Michelwyf. As the last imme- diately follows upon Michael and Alice his wife, it may be that she was the daughter of Alice, and that Michael was a second husband ; or there might have been a covert satire in the assertion that she WQs her mother's daughter.

^' Kirk Smeaton is a rare example iu this part of the country of a parish being couterminous with a manor, and retain- ing its individuality from 1086 to 1892. Smedetone was surveyed iu 1086 as three manors in one. Tlie throe manors hnd been owned in the time of the Confessor by Gamfl, Ulchil and Mot car, and had then a taxable area of 5 caruc4ito:<, capable of maintainiu;; 5 ploughs, and of con- tributiug £i to the revenue. At the date of the Survey it had become sub- inf ended to one Robert, doubtless the Robert de Ramos ville who htild Little Smeaton and Stubbs. He had 2 ploughs, while 7 villanea, 6 borda**s and 2 frefmen held only 1 plough, and the revenue had decreased to 40«. This was remarkable ; for the other Smeaton in the same ownership, and with less than two- thirds the acreage, had increased it9 re-
venue capacity largely. There were at Smeaton a priest and a church, and a null which paid 2s. At the time of the 1378 Poll Tax there were 44 taxpayer^ assessed in Kirk Smeaton, only six of whom paid more than fourpence. The-«« wore a tailor, a carter, and fiichard d« Warwick, the mai-shal, assessed at 6fl. each ; and Agnes del Daiue, with Walter Rasceby. who were respectively asae>8cd ac I'ld. and 2jr.

^ This Smeaton family was of import- ance. The first was Siward, who sup- planted in some way the son of the Domesday holder, Qerald de Reineville. He bad succeeded in due course, received Smeaton as an inheritance, and was then suddenly removed to Darrington in a manner and for a reason nut now trace- able. Fur in the first half of the twelfth century there was a general shaking of the kaleidoscope, in the course of which men who seemed settled in their lordship were suddenly transplanted, and their places sometimes taken by quite i.ew men. In that manner Qerald disappeared from Smeaton, not however in disgrace, for he received Darrington, but in pursuance by the lord of the fee^ pf some line of

* Little SmeatoD, in the parish of Womeraley, was surveyed in 1 08t) as two , mauors, formerly owned by Baret and Artor, and having three cirucates of taxable land, capable of employing 8 ploughs, and producing a revenue of £6. At the time of the Survey it had been subiufeuded to Robert de Kamosville, who had retained the former lords as tenants. The original report was, how- ever, corrected by the incorporation of the facts relating to Kirk Smeaton with those that concerned Little Smeaton. This was done by substituting v for ii. a substitution easily detected, by interlining the names of Gamel, Ulchil, and Morcar, altering the iii carucates into ix, and viii ploughs into xiii; which implies that it was Baret and Arcor who had under
them the very large number of 23 villanes and 20 bordats with 8 ploughs, and that to Gamel, Ulchil, and Morcar, the names added are to be attributed the additional holdings. With this high state of cultivation, the revenue bad increased to £6 14«., while two mills produced as much as 94. 4d. This increase of value was perhaps a result of the continuance of the old lordd in possession. At the time of the Poll Tax, in 1378, Little Smeaton had only 13 taxpayers, who were assessed at 24«. lOd All paid 4<i., except a souter charged with 6<i., a cattle-dealer charged V2d,, and .

The late Mr. James Fowler, for many years resident in Wakefield, was one of the earliest, and, until his health finally broke down, one of the most enthusiastic and active of our members. And, as he did so much good work for our own and for other societies with kindred objects, it has been thought well that a few particulars of his life and work sliould be put on record in our Journal, in memoriam.
He was born at Winterton in Lincolnshire, March 15th, 1839, and was the fourth son of Mr. Joseph Fowler of that place, who was the only surviving son of William Fowler of the same, whose magnificent coloured engravings of Roman pavements, painted glass, etc., were the wonder of his own time, and are still justly admired as one of the finest extant collections of such representations.^ As a child, the little James was quite unlike most other children. His early- attempts at literary composition were very remarkable, and one of his earliest attempts at recording his observations pictorially was a book of sketches representing "Various shapes of clouds that I have seen." He was also very fond of trying chemical experiments, as for example with vinegar and difterent kinds of stone, or any chemicals he could get hold of. And again, he wrote and delivered many original " Sermons," so that some chief characteristics of the man were already showing themselves in the child. He went to school at Bishopton Close, near Ripon, and as a schoolboy was popular among his companions, though so different from most of them in his tastes and pursuits. That was before the days of compulsory games, and his great delight was to ramble out to Fountains Abbey, Markenfield Hall, the Minster, and places of that sort, with any companions who would at all sympathize with him in his own keen interest in ancient buildings, in which he was himself encouraged by

liis cousin William Fowler Stephenson, from whom also he acquired the elements of drawing. Some time before he left school, his scientific interests were stimulated through coDnpanionship with the writer, then a pupil of Mr. Sadler, surgeon, of Winterton, who always encouraged his pupils in scientific pursuits, and now James's great delight was to be "at the surgery," either doing chemical experiments, or helping in practical pharmacy, or dissecting any unfortunate animals that we were able to get hold of. This led to his clioosing medicine as a profession, and he was articled to Mr. Sadler. There he continued his scientific researches, and did a good d^al of classical, general, and scientific reading, while at the same time to the full as bright and happy as the average tennis-playing young gentleman of the present day. Some time about 1858, he entered at St. Thomas's Hospital, London, where he soon gained the favourable notice of Mr. Simon (now Sir John Simon, K.C.13.), Mr. Le Gros Clark, Mr. Rainey, and others engaged in the work of the hospital and medical school. Though always a most keen and diligent student, he managed to find time to visit several places of antiquarian interest in and about London. He also became greatly fascinated by the services held by the Roman Mission in St. George's *' Pro-Cathedral " in Southwark, had interviews with Bishop Grant, and at one time was very nearly seceding. After that he came under powerful intellectual influences of another kind, and to a great extent if not altogether embraced the philosophy of Spinoza, which seemed to him to aflbrd the true solution of all his diflBculties. At the same time he was full of sympathy with Christian doctrine, and with solemn and impressive modes of rendering the services of the Church, which he always diligently attended. And in a few years lie became as truly loyal and attached a son of the Church of England as could be found anywhere. Having become M.U.C.S. and LS.A. in 1861, and L.M. in 1862, and having held the oflBces of House Surgeon and of Resident Accoucheur at St. Thomas's, he was appointed in 1864, House Surgeon to the Clayton Hospital and Dispensary at Wakefield, which led to his settling in practice in that town, and receiving the appointment of Honorary Surgeon to the Hospital. He married, Oct. 17th, 1865, Aimette, second daughter of Capt;iin, afterwards Admiral Binstead, of
80 JAMES FOWLBK, P.S.A.
Wakefield, who survives him, as do also one daughter aud four sons. In February, 1867, he was elected a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries and a Local Secretary for York- shire. In 1870, the " Huddersfield and Topographic«il Association " had become established on a new footing as " The Yorkshire Archaeological and Topographical Associa- tion," and entered on that new and flourishing stage of its existence under the very eflBcient Secretaryship of the late Fairless Barber,^ which had been so well maintained under our present Secretary, Mr. Tomlinson. From this time, no one was more active than James Fowler in forwarding tlie interests and objects of the Society in every way in his power. A list of his contributions to the Journal will be found below. He also worked hard for the Society of Anti- quaries and other societies, while at the same time thoroughly well attending to his extensive medical practice both private and at the hospital. Among his patients he was a universal favourite ; this was the natural result not only of the confi- dence inspired by his known skill and sound professional judgment, but of his constant kindly sympathy with all who were in any trouble, which made him to be beloved alike by rich and poor. He was the last man to allow any patient to suffer by his attention to those archaeological pursuits which were to him a delightful recreation, but not the business of his life.
Once or twice he took short foreign tours, which he greatly enjoyed, and the results of which may be seen in some of his published articles. One unhappy night, while at Gibraltar, he was attacked, for the fii*st time, by violent spasmodic asthma, and from that time he hardly ever knew what it was to have a day's real health. Night after night the asthma returned, and only very slight relief was ever found to result from any treatment. His days were spent in going about his work, unrefreshed afcer sleepless nights ; again and again he broke down altogether, and had to go away for rest and change. It was now more than he could do to get through his professional work, and after 1879 ho wrote hardly anything until the last year of his life. After a long struggle he was obliged to give up practice altogether, and, being exceedingly ill at the time, removed

with liis family to Liphook, Hants, where it was hoped that perfect rest in a southern liome might result in the recovery of his health. And, indeed, he was often so much better and so much hke his old self that such hopes were enter- tained from time to time. The least chill, however, usually resulted in his being laid up for some weeks with feverish cold and bronchitis, and it was too evident that there was no permanent improvement in his health. In the summer of 1890 new complications set in, his strength steadily gave way, and on November 2nd, 1890, he sank to rest after many years of ill-health and suffering, all borne with patience and composure worthy of the true Christian philosopher that he was. He was buried in the beautiful churchyard at Bramshot, under the shadow of the church where he had so often worshipped, on a bright and sunny November day, just such a day as he had often so keenly enjoyed, many friends and neighbours, as well as relations, attending for the last farewelL
During the period of his chief literary activity, that is to sny, roughly speaking, from about 1861 to 1880, the number of liis printed contributions of one sort or other is almost incredible. Mrs. Fowler has furnished me with a list of them, which I shall send to be deposited in our library, for the space at our command here does not admit of more than a general account of them, and a list of those in the Journaly or such as are on kindred subjects.

S. ALKELDA OF MIDDLEHAM.
By T. CARTER MITCHELL, F.8.A.
The Church of Middlehara, which was one of the places visited on the occasion of the excursion of July last, is dedicated to SS. Mary and Alkelda. With regard to the latter Saint there seems to be some mystery, as so little is known about her. She is said to have been a Saxon Prin- cess who was strangled by the Danes, and her remains are s;ud to repose in the Church of Middleham. Her name is I>reserved in that of a spring which rises hard by the Church, and which is called S. Alkelda's Well. No " acts " of S. Alkelda have been discovered. There is a patent of K. Edw. IV. extant, allowing his brother Richard, Duke of Gloucester, to establisli a college at Middleham, in honour of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Blessed Virgin, and of S. Alkeld ; but this throws no light on the early history of the Saint. In the Surtees Society's Vol 26 is an extract from the will of William Wyllye, Dean of Middleham, 1559. He desires to be buried in the Choir of Middleham Church, near the altar. He also says : " I bequiethe and gyve to my paryche Churche of Mydellham to wearkyng of a bell, the thyrde bell and smallyste, a boylle of sylver, the
greateste and all the sylver in the in the Churche
of Mydlam that was of Saynte Alkyld heayd, and a peice of
Saynte Alkyld head that is in my chyst in y yf
that they wyll by a bell or els not."
When Middleham Church was being restored in 1878, a stone coffin was found, in which was the skeleton of a woman. This, on what would seem to be very slight proof, was considered to be the remains of S. Alkelda : as far as I can see, the chief evidence in favour of this theory being that the skeleton was that of a woman. Many women will have been buried in the Church at Middleham since Saxon times, and I think the luxury of a stone coffin would more likely fall to the lot of one of the Fitz Randolphs, or of
G 2
84 S. ALKELDA OF MIDDLEHAM.
some other great family connected with Middleham in early times, than to the lot of a poor murdered victim of the pagan Danes.
The Saint is described as having given her name to the Well ; now this is certainly wrong. There can be little doubt that the name Alkelda is a latinized form of the Saxon Halikeld, the Holy Spring, Halikeld being derived from two Anglo-Saxon words " haelig/' holy, and ** keld," a fountain. There may have been ft real Saint who took up her abode by this Holy Spring, and lived there until her name became lost in that of the well, but it is mucli more probable that S. Alkelda was no real person, and that her existence in tradition is an example of what is called eponymy, that is, the invention of a fabulous personage for the purpose of explaining a pre-existing name. Dr. Isaac Taylor gives a similar instance in the case of S. Osyth of Essex, who to complete the parallel is also said to have been a Saxon Princess, and to have been killed by the Danes.
It is rather curious to remark how many of the early Saints of this country were connected with Royalty. I suppose they were Saints by a species of Divine right. It would be interesting to inquire whether there is still the same correspondence between royal birth and a saintly reputation which existed in times gone by.
If S. Alkelda never lived, it is not surprising that so little is known of her life. It is most probable that S. Alkelda, to whose honour Richard III. established his College, and to whom, to judge from Dean Wyllye's will, in pre-Ileformation days a silver shrine had arisen, was, long before Christianity existed in this land, or any other land, the Spirit of the Fountain. The Briton quenching his thirst with the sweet, clear waters of the spring, would naturally associate the blessing with a beneficent deity, the giver of the water, and the spirit once invoked by him would continue, under various names, to haunt the well. Each vanquished race in suc- cession would hand down the tradition to the conquerors. The Roman would learn it, and perhaps recall the verses of Ovid,—
*' Est nitidus, vitroque magis perlucidus omni, Fons sacer; huno multi numen habere putant."
To the Saxon it became Halikeld, the Holy Well.
S. ALKELDA OF MIDDLEHAM. 85
The early Christian missionaries, with a policy which savoured rather too much of the wisdom of the serpent, combined the doctrines of the new faith with many of the heathen superstitions of their disciples, establishing Chris- tianity on a foundation of pagan belief, as the Christian fane of S. Sopliia was built on the green jasper pillars taken from the Temple of Diana at Ephesus. The converts would perhaps be taught that their good spirit of the fountain was the Blessed Virgin, and when a Saxon church was built on the spot, it would be dedicated to S. Mary, for sake of distinction called S. Mary of Halikeld. To the Norman ecclesiastics, who in time succeeded the Saxons, this name would be nnintelh'gible, so they made Halikeld into the name of a Saint, and spoke of the Church as being dedicated to SS. Mary and Alkelda. There is one Church besides that of Middleham dedicated to S. Alkeld, that of Giggles- wick, where the same corruption of the word Halikeld seems to have taken place. For at Giggleswick is the marvellous well whose ebbing and flowing is not easily accounted for even now, and which in old days must have been attributed to supernatural agency.
Near Melmerby in the North Riding is a spring still called Halikeld, which gives its name to the Wapentake.
There is another case in point. Everyone has heard of S. Winifred's Well, at Holywell, in North Wales, which is said to pour forth some twenty tons of water each minute. Here again we find that the name of the Saint is derived from the spring, being compounded of two Welsh words, " gwynn,*' white, and ** ffrydan," a stream, the " nitidus fons " of Ovid. Unlike S. Alkeld, who has the happiness of being a "lady without a history," S. Winifred's reality is attested by numerous miracles, among others the following tradition is told of her. Having devoted herself to a religious life, she rejected the addresses of Prince Caradoc, who, enraged at her refusal, drew his sword and slashed oflF her head. The head rolled down the hill-side to the church door, then up the church to the altar, where her uncle S. Beuno was officiating. The holy man lifted up the head and took it back to where the body lay. He replaced it on the bleeding neck, to which it again became miraculously united. S. Winifred, thus restored to life, survived for fifteen years. From the rock hard by burst forth the famous well of
86 S. ALKELDA OF MIDDLEHAM.
waters in attestation of the miracle. Doubtless this is all true, but still the derivation of the name Winifred which I have given above is a striking coincidence.
If I am wrong in attributing an eponymous existence to S. Alkelda, and some able champion of the Saint should bring forward evidence of her reality such as is so un- answerable in the case of S. Winifred, I shall rejoice, as it is not pleasant to play the part of "Devil's Advocate " in the case of a Saint who is a neighbour, and a lady as well.
I cannot help feeling it a great responsibility to attempt to lessen the number of the Saints even by one, living as we do in times —

band, curving spirally upwards to the left and ending in a conical protuberance, and on the right splitting into two spiral curvatures beneath of a similar character. The middle of this ring-like form is occupied by a double spiral — S-shaped — the upper part much larger than the lower. On either side of the central double stem and beneath the cross piece is a double spiral — S-shaped — like the old suu sign. Beneath the octopus-like termination of the stem, the surface is ornamented with bosses and an incomplete spiral, which appears to have been the bottom of the sculptured part of the cross shafc.
A portion of the surface beneath each of the lateral spirals has been left, neither decorated nor cut away.
Fig. II. shows apparently the front side of the same fragment. There is a central double cross, above which is seen a portion of the figure of the Lamb, consisting of parts of the four legs tind of the tail. Below the cross head on either side there is an S-shaped spiral or sun sign, similar to those on the other side. Between the arms are bosses, mostly in groups of threes, filling the vacant spaces.
Fig. III. shows one edge of the same fragment. The ornamentation consists of bands looped and interlaced, forming singularly beautiful plait work, with spaces at irregular intervals containing small bosses, and with a triquetra-like ending, which may shew the bottom of the carved part of the cross shaft.
Fig. IV. appears to be the head of the cross of which figs. I., II., III., show the two sides and one edge. This head measures 9}^ in. across the top, and 14 in. across the arms. Each arm is broken away below, leaving only 6 in. of surface depth of arm. These measurements correspond with what one would expect to find in a head to such a fragment, and moi'eover such a head, duplicated, is found beneath the Lamb in fig. II. The ornament shows spiral work or interlacings, such as are to be seen in figs. 1.^ II., III., but the stone is so much covered with very hard and adhesive lime mortar that the exact design cannot at once be made out.
In the diocese of Carlisle, Mr. Calverley adds, within the ancient kingdom of Strathclyde, this early type of cross and cross-head is found at Aspatria, Bromfield, Bridekirk, Dear- ham, Brigham, Crosscanonby, Distington, The great crosses

at Irton and at Penrith have similarly shaped heads, though the ornament is in each case of another type.
Figs, v., VI., 15 in. by 11 in. ; about 4 in. thick. These I'epresent opposite sides of a. circular cross-head with two arras connected by circle, and perforated with triangular apertures between the arms. Each face is decorated with an interlaced pattern filling each broad arm and passing in a band round the aperture into the next arm, while at the angle is a group of three small bosses. In the centre, no doubt, was a large boss. A I'aised rim passes round the arms of the cross. The wheel is sunk and is quite plain.
Fig. VII. is a light coloured stone, 16 in. long, 12 in. wide, and 6 in. thick. On the front appears portion of a Lamb — the body and four legs — above the sacred sign of the Holy Trinity, the triquetra. lieneath this figure, a double flat band, overtwisted like a double key pattern, separates the upper from a lower panel, and continues round the edges. In the lower panel, and on the other side of the fragment, similarly divided, is scroll work or knotted design. Part of the edge is also carved in like manner. The panel beneath the Lamb is wider than the upper part.
Fig. VIII., 13 in. by 8 in., is one of two fragments which together form an almost complete circular cross-head, which might well be called a wheel cross. The rim is studded with bosses. In the drawing the upper arm passes beneath the ring carrying the bosses. The left arm also passes beneath this ring, whereas the right arm passes in front of the bosses. Possibly this right arm, as it is shown in the drawing, is properly that which adjoins the cross shaft.
The head is not quite perforated, but the triangular depressions between the arms give the cross a good relief.
The cross at Rocliffe, Cumberland, shows a somewhat similar head, though with slight differences.
Fig. IX., a reddish stone, 14 in. by 11 in. Fragment of a circular cross-head, showing two arms and part of con- necting wheel, having central boss of an inch diameter within ring of four inches in diameter. The arms are decorated ou both sides with plaitwork similar to that on Figs. VL, VII., but without the i>roup of small bosses.

Note. — In the doorway of the tower staircase, doing duty as a stone threshold, is the shaft of a cross shewing spiral or scroll work on its much-worn upper face, and interlacing or plait work on its edge. l]^is cross-shaft resembles that of the cross known as the Giant's Thumb at Penrith.

YORKSHIRE DEEDS.
By A. 8. ELLIS.
The Charters, of which an abstract is here given to our readers, were purchased at the sale of the MSS. from Burton Constable, in Holderness, by Lord Grantley and Mr. Thoma.s Brooke our President, and have been transcribed at their joint expense for the benefit of the Society. They relate chiefly to Yorkshire, and are arranged in alphabetical order accoi'ding to places. It will be seen at a glance that they are of a varied and miscellaneous character, but they contain nmch information that is both novel and interesting.
The collector of the MSS. at Burton Constable and many of the artistic treasures in that palatial mansion was William Constable, Esq., who died in May, 1791. He was fond of heraldry and topography, and his collection reflected his tastes. In 1770, Mr. Constable purchased from that dis- tinguished antiquary, John Burton of York, M.D., the whole of his MSS., illustrative of the history of Yorkshire. Among these were the materials for the second volume of the Mon- asticon Eboracense, which were bought by Lord Herries at the recent sale and are now at Everingham. Among the Burton MSS. were also many of the charters which are now printed by this Society. Many of these were saved from the ruins of St. Mary's Tower at York when it was blown up by the Parliamentary forces in 1644. In Burton's days ancient Charters and MSS. could easily be procured, and they are still to be met with, in York. The writer of this Introduc- tion has more than once purchased them at the door of his own house where they were offered to him for sale.
A considerable addition to the Burton Constable Library came from Wyclifte in North Yorkshire, on the death of Marmaduke Tunstall, Esq. That beautiful estate descended to the Constables, the late owner's kinsmen, but Mr. Tun- stall's fine library, especially rich in works on Natural History,

was purchased in its entirety by Todd, the York bookseller. Soon afterwards the buyer placed on the first page of his next catalogue the following tempting lot which had come to York from Wycliffe.
"A very curious Collectiou of Books in Manuscript, mostly upon Heraldical Subjects, viz , Visitations of Counties, Miscellaneous Pedigrees, Ancient Armes, Heraldry — Anecdotes, Alphabets of Arms, Crests,. Old Deeds, Seals, &c, t&c, in one hundred and fifty volumes, neatly half bound and gilt, Two Hundred Pounds."
This lot was purchased for Burton Constable, and those who are conversant with the MSS. offered at the recent sale will now know from what source many of them came.
The MSS. at Burton Constable were placed in a room, specially set apart for them, which was lined with cases filled with shabbily-bound books in the clothing of the last century. The Charters were in ottomans on the floor. I well remember paying a visit to the place some twenty-five years ago to examine the Easby Chartulary (now unhappily lost), and in the coui-se of the day I saw many of the Charters which weie bought at the recent sale by Lord Grantley and Mr. Brooke. I had two companions, and, while we were busy with our work, an unobserved door flew open, and in swept our hostess, Lady Constable, with stately bearing and tread, to greet her guests. Her appearance befitted those ancient times in which we were then immersed. Dressed in rich black velvet, with a ti-ain cut somewhat after the Tudor style, and wearing her jewels in a queen-like way, she looked as if she had stepped down from one of the picture frames on a neighbouring wall. The sight and the scene cannot be forgotten.
It must be mentioned that the Notes to the Deeds are by Mr. A. S. Ellis, and that the Illustrations have been pre- sented to the Society by Dr. Sykes of Doncaster.

A PARTING WORD ABOUT HER

"Uncertainty is the mother of confusion" (as observed by Lord Chief Justice Coke), and " he might have found in Falsehood, another parent for confusion."
Sir Harris Nicholas, ** Chronology of History," Preface xi.
The great house of Warren in this country seems to be usually connected in its first days with the counties ot Sussex and Norfolk, although South Yorkshire has un- doubtedly an equal claim, for the Lordship of Coningsburgh embraced nearly the half of that province. Much has been written about the first Countess of Warenne, and her mother Queen Matilda, and much that is not only misleading, but positively unauthenticated and false, though the following paper touches by no means upon all the fallacious and vicious reasoning connected with it. The Yorkshire Archaeological Society, therefore, may well be instrumental in dispelling illusions and propagating truth in respect of the earliest associations of the Warenne family with their county. There is an old French proverb, however, which runs thus : — ** 11 nefaut pas eveiller chat qui dort" and contro- versial subjects, like "sleeping dogs^' (that equivalent saying), are, as a rule, none the better for being disturbed.
Of all the disputants in the field respecting the birth and parentage of Gundreda, Countess of Warenne, there is not one probably who does not think but that he has thoroughly solved the new-fangled mystery attached to this question. Strictly speaking, and looking at the subject dispassionately, there are but two points which concern the matter at all, the fiacts, namely, that Ordericus Vitalis names Gundreda *'Soror Gherbodly' and that William de Warenne, in his second foundation charter of Lewes Priory, designates Queen Matilda the mother of his wife, " mater vxmns mece"
124 QUNDRBDA, COUNTESS OF WARENNB.
The last point cannot be disputed, and although verified by the Conqueror himself, who calls her ''Jilia viea " in his charter to the monks of Walton, can well rest upon its own unquestionable merits and authenticity, without further verification. The first and main question, therefore, regards the supposed relationship which some English an- tiquaries have assigned to Gundreda with Gherbod the Fleming.
Now, the sense in which Ordericus Vitalis has named her " Sister of Gherbod," has never been properly grasped by the greater part of the antiquaries of this country, mainly, if not entirely, due to their imperfect knowledge of the French idiom, and the strict analogy existing in construction and idiom between the Latin and Frencli languages ; an analogy so great, that whereas an English student in many cases racks his brains to come at a mean- ing, the French scholar seizes the Latin sense of a particular word or passage at once, and distances the Saxon's render- ing, both in exactness and in all want of ambiguity. This too slight knowledge of their similarity in construction, and the perfect dissimilarity existing between the Anglo-Saxon and Latin tongues, have been, we believe, the main cause of the real difficulty, and this commenced with Dugdale. Whether the failing be admitted or, on the other hand, denied out of sheer stubbornness and conceit, the real truth has broken in upon some, and upon ourselves in particular, and we cannot drop our pen for good without placing ou record the subjoined opinion, emanating from, perhaps, the first antiquary of the day. True, the subject has been undoubtedly threshed out, and has become stale and un- interesting ; yet historic truth demands its solution.
Ordericus Vitalis was edited for the French Government by the present Director-General of the National Library of France, M. Leopold Delisle. That eminent man has long been the highest authority not only in his own country, but in Europe. He is not only, it may be safely said, one of the first of its Latin scholars, and of living archseologists, but as editor of the Chronicles of Orderic Vital, no other existing authority could be so pre-eminently qualified to pass an opinion on the remarkable and idiomatic use of the word ''soror," as soeur de lait, employed by that historian. His opinion is given in the subjoined letter, It is, in fact.

on that very word (as observed) that the whole question turns, for it has been from their idiomatic ignorance on the part of Enghsh controversialists, that the enunciation of e\ery imaginable and wild theory has had its origin, in the attempted solution of the matter. His words arc as follows : —

Now, the opinion of such an authority is not to be dis- regarded ; it will be consiuered everywhere, save by a few, perhaps, in this country, as final. Viewed in that light, the difficulty regarding " foster-sister '* might well be considered settled ; besides being above all flatly contradicted by William de Warenne himself, who may be presumed to have known his wife's parentage, and what he asserted, when he calls Queen Matilda ^^ mater uxoHs mecer If by any possibility Gundreda had been the sister "fty blood" to Gherbodj that person must also be of necessity affiliated to the same mother. Queen Matilda. Such a conclusion is not only ridiculous, but too outrageous ever to have been enter- tainedy or listened to, however ingeniously one theory or another may have been invented to meet a matter which
126
GUNDREDA, COUKTLSS OF WARENNE.
certain modem antiquaries have questioned without any foundation.
We shall further endeavour to show, we hope successfully, that Gundreda having no blood affinity whatever with Gherbod the Fleming, was probably the eldest of Duke William's children by that same Princess, the daughter ot Baldwin, Count of Flanders. In truth, nothing more falla- cious respecting Queen Matilda's * early history could have been possibly imagined, neither is anything more certain, than that Dugdale (the first, probably, of English anti- quaries), was not on such intimate terms with the French language as to be able to see that "soror" in mediaeval Latin, as shewn even in its different compounds, had a wider meaning to the French mind.
Assuming that most reasonable people will acquiesce in the probable theory of '' fosterage^'' '^ there would remain, we think, but one more question to settle, or bring within i*easonable distance of settling, the second point in the argument.
While the controversy was going on some time since, we assumed, or rather suggested, the possibility that Gundreda was the Conqueror's eldest child, and all things go to show, after the twistings and turnings to which the matter has been subjected, that the Countess Gundreda de Warenne was really a daughter of William, Duke of Normandy ; in fact, one of the earliest, if not the very eldest child, by Matilda of Flanders. She thus stood in the eyes of the Church, in respect of legitimacy, which never seems to have been called in question, in the same position as Robert, William, Richard, and others born after the Papal interdict and the Council of Rheims, or before the usually assumed dispensa- tion of 1059 by Pope Nicholas IL, and the confirmation of their marriage.

- A writer in "Notes and Queries" [7th S. VII., Jan. 26, 1889], adopts in the main our theory of ** fosterage " (for which we claim to be alone the origina- tors), but by way of improving upon it, he suggests that Gherbod (senr.) may have been the ** i^utativc'^ father, quite
regardless of the fact that one who, wife of William, Comte de Warenne in France, and is elsewhere styled ** Comi' tiasa,*' witnesses with her mother Queen Matilda, and William Rufus, the Con- queror's confirmation Charter to Lewes Priory, would never have been thus aaso- ciated, had nhe sprung from any doubt- ful (or ignoble) origin. See original Con- firmation Charter of Lewes Priory by the Conqtieror (Monasticon Cluniacense Anglicanum).

No ono denies, we believe, the authenticity of Gundreda's epitaph (commencing "Stirps, Gundreda, Ducum '') ; how she died on the sixth of the Calends of June (1085), and this fact, dating from the time of Duke William's (subse- quently, interdicted) marriage in 1047, would cause her age at the time of her death to have been 36. Her husband died in' 1088, on the 8th of the Calends of July. This age of tjrundreda tallies, moi'e or less, with the journey (or pilgrira.oge) detailed by William de Warenne, undertaken by himself and his wife to Rome (MS., Cott. Vespa., F. XV.).^ The date of that occurrence is fixed beyond any question in some year between 1073 and 1077, for their progress was airested by the war then going on between Pope Gregory VII. (Hildebrand) and the Emperor of Germany. The former of these two did not succeed to St. Peter's chair until 1073. Assuming Gundi-eda, therefore, to have been th^ first-born child, she would have been about 26 at that period. We know from William de Warenne's own charter how, when their progress was thus arrested, they both turned their steps towards the Abbey of Cluni, with which they were so enchanted, that they determined upon founding a house of the same order to the honour of St. Pancras on their return home. Hence the priories of Lewes and Castle Acre.
There is every reason, therefore, for assigning 1047-8 as the date of Gundreda's birth, for if assumed to have been born many years later, she would have been scaicely mar- riageable, or have clashed with the recorded succession of the Conqueror's other daughters.
Let us consider a few facts in corroboration of that date.
The marriage of Duke William was in)posed upon him when quite a young man * by the advice of his Court and surroundings. On the authority of the ** Corpus Chronicorum Fiandrise " (i., 552), the date of that marriage has been assigned to 1047.

128 GUNDUEDA, COUNTESS OP WAKENNK.
The Conqueror's chaplain, William of Poitiers, if his history is be taken chronologically, mentions Duke William*s marriage shortly after the taking of Alen9on and the affair of Dorafront, when he caused the flight of Geoffrey Martel, the Duke of Anjou ; equally also before the revolt of William of Arques. The contemporary historian, William of Jumidge (see Appendix), corroborates the same event, and places it shortly after the battle of Val-des-Dunes, near Caen, and that event decidedly occurred in 1047.* He then forthwith records, as the next notable event,^ the marriage of William of Normandy with Matilda, daughter of Baldwin, Count of Flanders, and their public entry into Rouen. It happens also that immediately after the battle of Val-des-Dunes, William de Jumi^ge records how William fortified Am- bri&res, near Mayenne. This occurrence coincides exactly in point of time with the " Roman de Rou,*' ^ when it recordis the same marriage as the succeeding event. The foregoing evidence of these three chroniclers is sufficient, at any rate, to show that the Duke's marriage with Matilda of Flanders may be safely placed in 1047-8, and nearly contemporary events seem to verify the same. It was taken up by the Council of Rheims under Pope Leo IX., in 1049, and then pronounced illegal on the score of consanguinity. It un- doubtedly took place before that Pope's accession in 1048, for as a pious reformer he brought that and other similar matters before the council, as one of his first acts on suc- ceeding to the papal chair in that year, and his enthrone- ment in 1049. It has been assumed, but on no certain grounds or evidence, that the interdict had preceded the marriage, but a close reference to the chroniclers and dif- ferent authorities will not support this. William of Jumi^ge asserts,® and William of Poitiers verifies or admits, that the marriage followed at once after the first proposals, and before any objection was raised on the score of consanguinity. It is even admitted by one,* who assigns 1053 as the date of the marriage — but for that date there is no conclusive evi- dence— that an " interval of some years " took place between the first proposals and its actual celebration. It is implied

(at p. 90-91, iii., " Norman Conquest "), that the Rheims pro- hibition was rescinded, or supposed to have been rescinded four years later, viz., in 1053-4, and that then the said mar- riage took place ; but this supposition again must be erro- neous, for had such been the case, there would have been no object in the subsequent dispensation of 1059. In support of this, it is assumed that pressure was brought to bear for such purpose on Pope Leo IX. at that very date, for the Normans were then engaged in hostilities against him in the South of Italy, and he was moreover a prisoner in their hands. The story has an air of probabiUty, but the subse- quent course of events, and the dispensation six years later, quite prove it unsubstantiated. One thing is certain, that William of Normandy disregarded the interdict of 1049 from the first, and set it at nought for many years.
It is stated in proof of this by W. de Jumifege — and the fact shows that the interdict by the Council of Rheims in 1049 went for very little with William — that the validity of the Duke's marriage continued to be questioned, and was fre- quently brought to his notice by the ecclesiastical dignitaries of Normandy.^® This opposition was stimulated and supported by the Primate, Malger, the Archbishop of Rouen. He was the Duke's uncle, being brother of the Count of Arques.** Under succeeding ecclesiastics also the same censure long continued ; it is even assorted that Normandy was laid under an interdict by the Pope in consequence,*^ and it was not until after Lanfranc, the Prior of Bec,*^ had been first sent to Rome to espouse the cause of the Duke, that a formal «lispensation was obtained, and this was granted by Pope Nicholas II., in 1059. W. de J. aflirms that the initiative in these proceedings was taken entirely by the Duke himself The words of William de Jumiege are — "Willelmus Dux, dum a quibusdam religiosis (Lanfranc and others), ssepius redargueretur, eo quod cognatam suam sibi in matrimonio copulasset, missis legatis, Romanum Papam super hac re consuluit.'' The dispensation is also recorded in the " Life of Lanfranc.'' The above chronicler states how the Duke took this step, in consequence of the frequent allusion to the subject by his ecclesiastical surroundings. He even goes so

far as to say, that the Pope lefrained from pronouncing a divorce between them, seeing that in such case a war would inevitably ensue between Flanders and Normandy. The result was that he received the Papal absolution, but as an atonement for the crime, the foundation at Caen of two monasteries was imposed, that of St. Etienne on himself, and the other of the Holy Trinity on Matilda.^* This historical fact speaks for itself, siiowing the conditions on which the dispensation was granted, and that any intermediate re- scinding of the interdict of 1049 must be purely imaginary.^^' As regards the monastery founded on that account by Matilda, we know that in 1081 she was there buried, and that the Princess Cecilia, her daughter, was its superioress long afterwards. ^*^ Lanfranc, subsequently Archbishop of Canterbury, and a monk of Bee, was the first Abbot of St. Stephen's at Caen; whilst in 1087 the remains of William himself were there deposited, in the church of his own foundation.
The effect, of course, of a marriage illegal in the eyes of the Church, was to render all the issue of such match up to or even after (apparently) William Rufus, boi*n out of wed- lock, according to the rules of that Church. To this category belonged all, we take it, preceding Tinchebraie, that Prince, who succeeded to the Crown of England not as heir, but by the "appointment" of his father, viz., Gundreda, Robert Courte-Heuse (so infamously treated by his brother after Tinchebraie), William, Richard, and Henry I.
These facts tend to show that many of William of Nor- mandy's children were born, not only prior to the dispensa- tion of 1 059, but before the implied prohibition was rescinded in 1053, which is alleged to have led to the marriage in that year, and that the early married life of William and Matilda was passed under these questionable conditions. We have no reason, however, under these circumstances to suppose, that if Gundreda had been the first-born child, she would in the eyes of the Church have been born more out of wedlock than the others up to 1059, nevertheless, according to our showing, she was undoubtedly born prior to the interdict of

1049, and this may, or may not, liave aficcted her indivi- dually more than the rest of Duke William's issue. *^
The foregoing evidence should, we think, be fairly taken as conclusive of the position which has always been assigned to Gundreda, as the daughter of the Conqueror, and for aught that we know to the contrary, as a Princess of the blood Royal, by those living nearer to the times under notice. The Silence on the question of her paternity during the course of so many centuries, is of itself a proof that no doubt had ever existed on the subject until recent days. Even Sir Francis Palgrave not only ignores the uncorrobo- rated and monstrous theory which had been set up by Mr. Stapleton, but proclaims its fallacy by not allowing it to interfere with the course of his history.*^ The Conqueror in his charter to the monks of Walton names Gundreda his daughter "uxoris sua? Gondrada^, Jilice mece." ^"^ W. de Warenne calls Queen Matilda the mother of his wife, " mater vxoris mece.'* She is named sister to Henry I. " Matilda
" The precise date of Duke William's marriage must always in the absence of fuilher proof remain open to question, and this of course affects the respective births of his children.
The date of the marriage of 1053 emanates (as we have ob«erved in a for- mer paper) from the Chronicle of Toura (*'Chron. Turon.,'* Bouquet xi., 848) ; the earlier, and assuredly more correct date uf 1047 from the ''Corpus Chronicorum Flandriae ** ; whilst Orderic Vital is sup- posed by some to assign 1063 as the year ; but in such divergencies, the probabili- ties must be kept alone in view, and merit the first, or only, consideration, the true and likely time being inferred therefroQL
Uenry, afterwards King, is said to huve been bom at Selby in 1068 ; Wil- liam Rufus in 1056. The age of one daughter Cecilia may be deteimined from the fact that when a babe she was dedicated to the Church on the altar of the Holy Trinity founded by her mother. Whether this took place before that monastery's consecration in 1066 (the year of the Norman invasion), or in the year of its foundation is not evident, but the &ct shows that she was lH>m in the year of, or after, the dispensation of 1059. Lastly, with regard to another daughter, Antha, who had been be- trothed to Harold, had that Prir.cees been the offspring of a marriage as late
as 1053, she would have been far loo young to have inspired any emotion in him, or vice vend to have entertained herself any lasting affection for Harold. Now the date of his visit to Willinni's court was in 1063, and such was the date of their betrothal. These matters all tend to the conviction that Gundreda was the first-bom child.
** Sir Francis Palgrave was Deputy Keeper of the Public Hecords, and author of ** History of Normandy and England," 4 vols., 8vo.
*^ There has been a great amount of nonsense concocted on the subject of this charter. In its present state it ia very much defaced, and that it has long been so, is patent from the fact that the two words *'filie mee" were rewritten after partial effaccment. Sir Richard St. George, no mean herald, made a copy of this document, and it exists in the Bod- leian Library. Had these words been an interpolation or subsequent false inser- tion, for which, to say the least, there could be no object, would that distin- guished herald, we ask, have overlooked the matter ? He made the transcript of the original upwards of 200 years ago. It is quite a question, therefore, whether the said words had at that time become illegible. (See Appendix). Sir R. St. George was first appointed to the College of Arms, t. Elizabeth.

If these pieces of evidence be placed in juxtaposition, the fact that the Countess Gundreda was simply nursed at the same breast with Gherbod is ap- parent. Why should such a conclusion be discarded as un- likely 1 The Princess Anne, daughter of James IL, afterwards Queen of England, had a foster-mother named Susannah, the wife of an Irish gentleman connected with the household of James II., when Duke of York. Posterity might as well endeavour to maintain that Queen Anne was sister by blood to one of this person's sons.
APPENDIX.
Apparent trifles often carry presumptive evidence with them. We lay stress on and quote the Norman Chronicler, William de Jumiege ; also the Herald, Sir Richard St. George. Two things are worthy of remark regarding them.
One of the MSS. of William de Jumi^ge*s " History of Normandy," (for there are several), in the Public Library of Rouen, has the first or iuitial letter illuminated, and exhibits the Chronicler in the act of presenting his work to the King.
Another MS. of the same History (now in the Harleian Collection, Brit. Mus. [MS. Harl., 491]), belonged at one time to Durham Cathe- dral Library ; and at a subsequent date was in possession of Sir Richard St. George, Norroy.
These citations show on the one hand, that Jumiege compiled his work during the Conqueror's life, that he dedicated it to him, and that unquestionable reliability may be placed on what he asserts.
On the other hand, that the MS. of that Chronicler should have been in Sir Richard St. George's possession is fair evidence that this Herald was versed in the History of the Conqueror, and that when copying that Monarch's charter, entertained no doubts or misgivings whatever iu respect of the now disputed words ^^jUia mea^
These two matters are stated by the late Sir Duffus Hardy, in his " Chronology of British History."

Giving a Dkscription of Scarborough in 1733. Communicated by the Rev. W. B. OREXSIDE, M.A.
Scarborough, July 28th, 1733.
Dear S',
I have been here drinking the Waters ab^ ten days, the Place and Company are exceedingly diverting ; only the afternoons are litle better than Lounging vacations, &> sometime lay cumbersom upon our hands, wCh is my case at present : Therefore rather than not employ my time I take pen in hand, (excuse me) to trouble you wth a short ace* of wt is seen, & done iiere, eveiy day. To begin wth the Place itself.
The Castle, is situate upon the sumit of a stupendious Precipice, surrounded on three sides by the Ocean ; The plain on the top of the Hill, lies pretty near in a round, containing upwards of fifty acres of Excellent Pasture very well watered at all times ; wCh may seem a Paradox : On the south brim of the sumit lie the vast «S: stately ruins of this old Castle built in the Conquerors time, & demolished in the late Civil Wan*s.
A litle below the Castle, but quite above the Town, stands the Church ; in a very incomodious Situation for the People because of the sore pull up-hill and toil necessary to come at it : It was shattered in pieces by the Castle guns in the war time, so the Parishiirs have employed the materials of one half, to render the other fit fer diV : service ; so comes the steeple to stand at the East end : there is a Sermon on every Wedre, <fe Fryd., throughout the year, & two every Sunday.

have got an Act for enlarging their harbour, w5h will be done at abt 10,000, further expence j & materials are now providing.
Ffrom the Harbour, along the Shore Southerly, a large & pleasant Area, or flatt of Sand, stretches itself a good mile in length, abt tlio midle of wch at the foot of a very high & very steep precipice lies The Spaw, abt 5 feet below High water mark perpendicular, so y* it is often deluged by the Spring Tides : It is a gentle Spring in form of a coinou well ; It is a Sovereign Antiscorbutia There is adjoyning to it an House built tor the convenience of such of both sexes, as shall subscribe five shillings. The subscription is taken by a remarkable creature, known by the name of Dicky, who for symetry and proportn, I mean for want of both, is pfhaps the most singular Deformity in the King's Dominions.
All the Company y* resort to the Spaw divert ymselves in the house, or on the Sands, every morning (in the absence of the Tide) between 7 and 10, whilst they are drinking the Waters : where is no difference or distinctn made of Quality : but High and Low equally priviledged, pass & repass, mix & separate, as if it were in the Elisian fields.
This morning the Sea run very high & then to walk betwixt the impending Buines of a prodigious precipice (for such the shore is all along for many miles) threatening to overwhelm, on one hand, & the rage of an impetuous & angry Sea, on the other, awakens a good deal of Horror in the apprehension : "wh, as at other Times the calm face of the Ocean continually overspread wth incredible numbers of Sail, all plying their Several Courses, <fe often Contrary ways ^th the same gale of wind. Then the Area almost crouded wth Quality of both Sexes. Coaches, Horse <fe foot traversing promiscuously back & forward : A fair sight of the Harbour and Shipping in it : a full view of the whole Town, the Church, and the Castle, all at once afford a Prospect too Romantic to be described ; & too entertaining not to engage the eye, & admiration, of every Beholder, with unwearied Pleasure.
But the darling Charm of this Place, especially to the Ladies, is a sumptuous ffabric, erected upon an high Eminency at the South end of the Town, called The Long Room, where the Quality & Gentry of both Sexes meet every Evening, to divert one another witFi Dancing, Gaming &c. This nightly Assembly is seldom less than an hundred, all appearing in their utmost Grandeur, wch indeed is astonishingly profuse &, splendid, insomuch y* it has obtained to be esteemed by much the gallantest assembly in the Kingdni. The Chief Ornamts of it at prst are the Dukes of Rutland & Argyle, Marquis of Louden, the Earles of Chesterfield, March mont & Huntington &c. StaiTs, Blue ribons & red ribons glitter in abundance, & to relieve by variety of deversions there is in Town a Play house Entertainment twice a week.
The number of Strangers resorting to the Spaw, was never known to be so great at any one time, as at the present, most of them remote Comers, especially Crouds of Scotch Gentry. The money spent, «k wared, in a Season by Strangers, is not computed at less than 14,0001b.
The Smugling trade is carried on here, as in other parts of this Coast, but under some check at the present, by the Blanford man of War now in the road, <fe the Strickland ffrigat, who holds her station at the mouth of the Harbour, yet Brandy and Tea are moderate enough the one being one Shill. pr.

RUNIC INSCRIPTION AT KIRKHEATON.
By the Rev. J. T. FOWLER, M.A.., F.8.A.
As noted in the Journal, Vol. x., p. 165, a stone was found in the old foundations at Kirkheaton Church in 1886, bearing runes which were read EOH WOROHTiE, "Eoh wrought." Further particulars were reserved, in case more runic stones should be found. Though diligently looked for, no remaining portion of the stone under consideration ever turned up, nor anything similar in point of date, except a small piece of stone bearing shallow knotwork. A flat slab cut and rudely mounted, as if for the top of a small round-headed window, also found here, may perhaps belong to the period of the inscriptions. The EOH stone, as we may call it, was found broken in two pieces, probably by the weight of the wall which had been built upon it. Before being used as building material, it appears to liave been broken in a straight line down the middle, and the other half may still be concealed in some undisturbed portion of the walls of the church. It must have borne the former portion either of a very short inscription, such as + AEFTER —EOH WOROHHTiE, "after "or in memory of some one, Eoh or " Yeo," wrought it, or of a longish one, filling it and running on to the second half, the flourish shewing the end of the inscription. This latter is the opinion of Professor Browne, of Cambridge, and is probably correct. That it

has been a headstone and not a cross is evident from its general Ibrm as well aa from the lower portion being cnt to form a tenon to fit a mortise in a block, as indicated
but not very clearly shewn in the illustrations. Not only is there a flange to rest on the edge of the mortise, but the front and back are slightly thinned from this point downward, and left roughly tooled. Further examination has added nothing to our knowledge of the inscription, except that the rune nt first read H, and so shewn in Fig. I, appears
188 NOTilS.
to have been a bind-rmie for double H, now partly broken away. On this point Professor Browne, who has seen a plaster cast, writes to me thus : — " On tie whole I am of
l-ig 2
your opinion (1), that there is a bind ; (2), that it is a double H. Whether that wonid give them the guttural I do not know."
For the iUnstrationa we are indebted to Prolossnr Stephens, who has kindly sent us cliche of his blocks.

THE OLD BAILE, YORK.
By W. PALEY BAILDON, F.S.A.
Drake gives an account [Ehoracxim, p. 265] of legal proceedino:s in 1326, between William de Melton, Arch- bishop of York, and Nicholas de Langton, Mayor of York, as to the obligation to repair that part of the city wall which skirts the Old Baile. The case was decided against the Archbishop, and he accordingly repaired the wall. A century later, the then Mayor brought an action against Archbishop Henry Bowel, respecting the same piece of wall, but unfortunately, I have not been able to find a record of the judgment. The following record of the case is taken from the roll of the Court of Common Pleas : —

AN UNNOTICED SHIELD OF ARMS ON THE TOWER OF
BIRKIN CHURCH.
Between 1140 and 1230, a space of ninety j^ears, the manor of Birkin was in the possession of a family who took their name from it, but were descended from one Asolf or Essulf. This Asolf was in the second rank of landowners, liaving in the latter part of the reign of Henry I. obtained (apparently as a mesne tenant) very laige possessions in the several wapentakes of Barkston Ash, Sky rack, Agbrigg, and Morley. He was dead in 1165, having, in the plenitude of his power, allotted to each of his sons a share of his pos- sessions. The partition seems to have been made in the early part of the reign of Stephen, and to have been in process in 1140, shortly before which date the name of Peter fitz Asolf first appears. As Peter of Flockton, Peter of Gipton, and Peter of Birkin, he is also spoken of, though I think that he never himself so styled himself. Birkin formed a very small portion of his vast estates, and had not in his time been erected into the caput ; but, singularly enough, it is the name by which he was finally and is now generally known, owing to its use by his sons Adam fil' Peter de Birkin and Thomas fil' Peter de Birkin. Peter de Birkin is a somewhat rare form, but these others are of frequent occurrence, being really to be read as Adam fir Peter (de Birkin), and Thomas fil' Peter (de Birkin) respec- tively.
Peter fitz Asolf died about the same time as his father, 1164 or 1165; and his then recent death is chronicled in the Pipe Roll for 1166 (12 Hen. XL). He was succeeded at Birkin by Adam, who lived till 1207. Adam's son and successor John died in 1227, and was followed in the owner- ship of the manor by his son Thomas, at whose death, in 1230, the male line became extinct, having lasted for four generations only.
The assumption of armorial bearings became general in the time of Peter fitz Asolf, and the arms adopted by the Birkins (Argent, a/ess azure, overall a label of three points gules) appear in one shape or another more or less perfectly in three unchronicled positions on the fabric of Birkin church.
NOTES. 141
The labels in a rudimentary form, is on one of the capitals of the beautiful late Norman porch ; and, so far as I have seen, no writer on the church, and on this elegant porch, has pointed out its relation, through their arms, to the lords. This label is, I have said, rudimentary ; by which I mean that while it was evidently intended for a label, it had not assumed the definite shape by which a label was afterwards known. The elements of the future label vrero there, though in so elementary a shape that it need not be wondered at that the symbol has been hitherto re- garded rather as a fantastical architectural ornament than as an heraldic feature.
In a more complete and perfected form, with well defined label and fess, and on an heraldic shield, absent from the symbol on the capital in the porch, the Birkin arms are also well exhibited in two places on the tower of the church, thereby giving a date to the part of the building on which they appear as not later than 1230, when, with the death ot Thomas do Birkin, they ceased to be used. It should be noted, however, that a modification with five points to the label was in occasional use by Robert de Everingham, the grandson of the heiress, because this form (with the five points) has sometimes erroneously been ascribed to the Birkius.
It is remarkable that except Mr. Hunter in his article in South Yorkshire, on Stainborough, the principal seat of the Birkin family, no writer has called attention to these arms, that have withstood the storms of at least six centuries and a half.
And yet not a little, bad, good, and indifierent, has been written about Birkin Church.

As be was baptized only on Ist May, 1629, he must have been a very young and perfectly useless " Comet of Horse in the King's Armv in the Civil Wars," as he described himself; for the poor puppet king had no army after 1646. Probably he was like many others, who made themselTes out to be martyrs, when they had nerer ** suflTered " at all, of whom Anthony Wood speaks.

of the city of Venice. This matriculation paper is sealed with the seal of the college and signed by Marcus Frasinus, Chancellor of the College.
Mr. Wentworth afterwards became secretary to Edward, Lord Littleton, Lord Keeper of the Great Seal. His clerkly instincts led him not only to endorse and preserve many family letters, but to keep a very curious book of memo- randums and entries of his avocations whilst he was secretary to the Lord Keeper, which book is still preserved at WooUey. He also kept a book of entries of the cases in Chancery which were brought before the Lord Keeper during the years 1640, 1641, and 1642, which is also pre- served. On the 8th of Januarj',^* 1640-1, Mr. John says he was entertained at dinner on that day at Sir George Ratcliffe's chamber in Trinity College, Cambridge, in commemoration of my Lord Strafford's nativity, and of his completing that day 20 years.^
Li 1647, he was appointed secretary by William, Lord Strafford, who was then at Rouen, having gone there after the death of his father. He writes to him from there in 1647, asking him to come to him, and saying that he shall be yery glad to have him near him. He also says, that Sir George, Mr. John's brother, had mentioned to him his readi- ness to come. Mr. John was then in Northumberland with his sister, Mrs. Rosamond Widdriugton.
In 1648, Mr. John went to Lord Strafford in France. He received a pass from Lord Fairfax to go through the Parlia- mentarian Army which is still preserved and bears the seal
^ t June. There is some mistake in tills statement The then Lord Strafford was bom April 13th, 1593, and his son was bom 8 June, 1626, and so would only be 15 years old at this date (J. J. C).
s John Wentworth's part in the Civil Wars is not recorded in this narrative, bat the omLBsion is supplied by the Royal> ist Composition Papers, from which we learn that John deserted his dwelling and went to live at Oxford while it was a gar* riaon for the king, and he claimed tho benefit of the articles of surrender, as ap- peared by a certificate of Sir Thos. Fair- fax, dated 24 June, 1646. He compounded on an annuity of £30 out of the manor, &c., of his brother Sir George, and on the moiety of " Marrow " rectory, co. York, worth £20 ; he was fined one-tenth of his
estate, or £70. In his petition John states that he was *' an attendant upon the right hoable Lord Littleton," and that the said Lord resided at Oxford and other places within his majesty's quarters. After the Restoration, John Wentworth petitioned for the "Receiver's place of Yorkshire and Lancashire," according to the humble suit made on his behalf to the kiug by the Earl of Strafford, aud stated that he had attended the Loi*d Keeper Littleton to York in 1642 as his Secretary, and was afterwards in the Lord Keeper Lane's service till the rendition of Oxford ** when he participated in that dissolution and destruction which since fell on the Royal party and this nation in generaL" {See Domestic State Papers, Charles XL, 1660).— J.J.C.

and signature of the Parliamentarian leader, dated Aug. 18 th, 1648, and runs as follows :
" These are to requyre you to permit the bearer hereof Mr. John Wentworth and his servant Matthew Husband, theire horses, swordes, and a portmanteau, to passe quietly and without youre interruption to London and from thence to Rye in Sussex, upon his necessarie occasions and to return provided it bee within 2 months from the date hereof. Given under my hande and scale the day of yeare above writ. To all officers and soldiers, within ye service of ye Parlia— ment, whom these presents may concerne." Mr. John waa abroad in France with Lord Strafford between 2 and 3 years. Some travelling expenses of Lord StraflFords whilst Mr. John was with him are yet preserved, and are as follows: "For travelling to Rouen £18, at Pisa £6, to Dieppe £7, suite £4, and at Dieppe £66." During this time Mr. John had to go to England about his Lordship's concerns three times and to return to him.
On the 18th Jan. 1652-3, Mr. John was married to Eliza- beth Aldburgh, of Aldburgh. The marriage settlement is dated Dec. 31 in the same year, and Mrs. Elizabeth had a jointure out of Aldburgh and Ellenthorpe. In 1 653, Mr. John purchased the whole of the Manor of Aldburgh, of Arthur and William Aldburgh ; and in the same year, he also pur- chased the mansion of Ellenthorpe, in Yorkshire. During the time of the civil w^ars in 1644, the Parliamentarian Army was quartered on the estate of Arthur Aldburgh, and he had a quantity of goods taken from him for the use of the Army as follows: "August 3rd, 1644, Taken from Ar. Aldburgh, Esq., one Grisseld Nag, with bridle and saddle and furniture by Lieutenant How, belonging to Colonel Lambert's Regiment for the King and Parliament, price £vii. by order as he said from my Lord Fairfax, to be allowed in assessments. One fatt cow by Tho. Willey, provider for the leaguer at Helmsley ; lis. 6d,, two fatt oxen by the Scottish Army, price £13 6s, 8d.; 24 load of hay by Mr. Wm. Stanley, sequestrator for the Lord Fairfax, £14 8**. ; and other horses and oxen, in all amounting to the value of £192 85." There are several old books still preserved at WooUey, which formerly belonged to the Aid burghs. There is an old Holinshed s Chronicles which Mr. Arthur says, was given to him by the Dean of Winchester, March 29, 1594, and an

old Bible with a pedigree of the Aldburghs. Two years after his accession to the estates he was made a Deputy Lieutenant of the West Riding by the Duke of Buckingliain.
In 1661, Elizabeth his wife, Michael his eldest son, and Mr. Egerton received a licence from Frewen, Archbishop of York, to eat meat in Lent. Mr. John had two sons and two daughters. Michael, his eldest son and successor to his estates, was born in 1655. John, the second son died young. Elizabeth and Frances, his two daughters, both died unmarried.
In 1667, ho purchased of John and Anne Witham, lands in West Garforth and Kirkes Garforth, in Yorkshire, for the sum of £700, and in 1668, sold them to Sir William Lowther, of Great Preston, for the sum of £730.
At the Sessions, held at Pontefract, in the twenty-fourth year of Charles II., he sat as Justice with Henry, Lord Fairfax, Sir John Reresby and Sir Henry Goodrick. An order was passed at this Session for the regulating of Servants' Wages.^
Mr. John was a commissioner for Lord StraflFord's estates, after his brother George's death. A set of the works of Cicero in ten volumes was given by Lord Strafford to Mr. Wentworth in 1672 ; they have Lord Strafford's arms on the binding and are still preserved at Woolley.
In 1682, Mr. John wrote a long letter to Lord Strafford, requesting him to pay some of the money which was due to him for acting as his Secretary, whilst he was abroad with him in France, and which it appears Lord Strafford was rather behindhand in paying. He says : —
" My Lord, — I think I may calculate my first accession to your Lord- ship from the year 1647, then being in Northumberland with my sister Widdrington, where I had a quiet and comfortable being, as with a mother more than with a sister. You was pleased about the beginning of that yeare, to write to me to come to you at Rouen, to which both she and I had so great inclination, that I instantly left all the ooncems wherein I was absolutely invested to waite upon you, and I thinke I was with you betwixte two and three years, and being not willing, as a drone in the hive, to eat your bread, without doing some- thing for it, I was ready at your Lordship's desire, to undertake an

inspection into the ordering of some affaires of your familie and casting up with myself, what service I might do you therein, I made you a pro- posal ; and perhaps as you may remember that for £400 per annum to keep you a chariot and a couple of horses and your familie in better order and plentie than it had been, tho there had been £1000 a year spent, that came out of England, but it not being followed, it came to nothing. But in the same year, there fell out occasion of coming into England three several times, two of them upon your Lordship's concerns, as for hastening of money to you for whidh you was many times reduced into great necessities ; and the other tiibe upon the proposal of the Lady Beecbam for you, who was said to have 2 or £3000 portion, and in this I was most mainly engaged by old Lord Clare and your sister now my Lady Rockingham. And, my Lord, in these motions and other times of your service, 1 expended some scores of pounds without ever craving a farthing of you, or ever thinking of it, unlesse it would come voluntarily of your owne accorde, and necessity of affaires, forcing a separation from you, 1 was become a stranger to you, till that it pleased God, to bringe me and my family into your neighbourhood, since when I cannot say that I have ever done you any service, tho all way willing if opportunity had been offered, save only in the particular of advancing my part of the £500, to prevent a breach betwixt Sir Thomas Wentwortk of Brett on and you, which would certainly have beene, if he had not been paid, which you know, hath laid a long time with you, and now upon so great an exigence as to be assisted with so small a part as only £100 to be denied and whereas you did but desire spareing till the next spring, to be put off for a year and a halfe longer, I thinke to be but a bad requitall after all. My Lord, pardon me, if 1 presume to take notice to you that 1 observe my money issues from you in vast summes hrre more unnecessarily, than in paying an old Just and an honest Debt and therefore have reason to resent it, the more strange, that you will not reserve so small a tribut.e for me now. Nay, my Lord, if you will yet please to helpe me (if but) with £50 before Christmas and £50 more at any time before March, 1 shall be well pleased ; otherwise if 1 must not have this favour from you, I must sell my interest in that security you have made to Mr. Edmunds and me ; for 1 have need of money and am resolved to shew myself of my owne, and to go about it as soone as I can possibly, and so 1 humbly take my leave ; and rest, my Lord, your Lordship's faithful Servant.
Lord Strafford wrote a very angry letter in answer to this. Mr. John says in a letter that he does " not yet under- stand any just occasion given him for soe much as hee therein expresseth, unlesse his Lordship thinks it a crime for one to pay soe honest old and just a debt as mine is." The dispute, however, appears to have been settled between them by a letter of Nov., 1682, and his Lordship agrees to pay the money which Mr. John wished for. He says in this : — " As to ye calmness you mention ' of in yt last letter, it is nothing more certain, yt ye contrary never came from me towards any one, especially a gentleman soe nearly related

There- fore rather than you should be disappointed if I have it not feady for you within youre time I desire you will take it of those you mention."
In 1670 Mr. John gave some money to St. John's College, Cambridge. The Master, Fellows and Scholars returned their thanks in a Latin letter, which is still pre- served.* On the 1st Feb., 1675-6, he lost his wife, and she was buried at Woolley. In 1672 there is an interesting letter from him to his eldest son Michael, afterwards Sir Michael. It appears from it that they were having a very large party at Woolley at this time. He says : — " Wee never had more companie since we came hither." The letter runs is follows : —
Dear Michael, — I received yours by Matthew and am glad to hear you are drawing soe neare to make an experiment of your new prepared medicine and that after two or three receipts, you will have your congi to retreate homewards. Your absence hath beene the only wante of our Christmas here.

For your name is wrought on the building just as the name of Phidias was formerly on the Statue of Minerva, both must perish together. There is no reason why we should fear, that you wish to ensare and catch us with bird limed and hooked presents.

Woolley, 2 Jan, 1672. John Wentworth.
The Sir William Wentworth whom he mentions in this letter was a privy councillor in Ireland, and Sheriff of Yorkshire in the twenty-fourth year of Charles II. He appears to have been a great friend of Mr. John's, and there are several letters from him. He assisted his son Sir Michael a great deal in the election at Aldburgh, when he was returned as member. He says in one of his letters to Mr. John in 1681 : — " I will assure you that there are no Wentworth's children I love better than Sir Michaels, and none can think it flattery, for I am glad there is so many to hinder that and I hope ther will be more.'*
There is an interesting letter from Sir John Reresby to John Wentworth, in which the murder of Sir Edmuudbury Godfrey, the victim of the Popish Plot, is mentioned. He says : —
Sir, — I am very glad to understand by ye favour of yours, that we are soe ready to followe in ye North ye good examples lately afforded us from this place, though that we may not lessen ourselves, in that par- ticular I think we rather give them.

His son Thomas, who was ambassador at Berlin and the Hague in the reign of Queen Anne, and in whom the Strafford title borne by his great
uncle was revived, was bom at Stanley Hall in Sept. 1672. (See The Wcntvoorth Fapei'8 published in 1883.) Not long afterwards Went worth's occupation of the Hall must have come to an end, for we find Sir Lyonell Pilkington paying for 14 hearths in Stanley under the tax levied in 24 Charles IL-J.J.C.

During the time of the Catholic persecutions and the Plot, there was a letter sent to Mr. John as a Magistrate, ordering him to arrest all Popish Priests. The letter is signed by the Lords Albemarle, Lauderdale, Anglesey, &c., as follows : —
After our very hearty Commendacions His Majestic and this Board having received frequent Information, that notwithstanding his Majestie's Proclamation the Care and Endeavours of his Ministers and Judges to suppress the growth of Popery, according to the desires of both Houses of Parliament, in that behalfe, yet many Popish Priests are as active as ever to Seduce his Majestie's good Subjects and to persuade them to embrace the Komish religion and therein have the help and encourage- ment of many of that persuasion Who though obnoxious to law, have of late behaved themselves very bouldly and insolently For prevention of '^'hich growing mischief and for the Preservation of the true Protestant Keligion, His Majestic hath commanded us to signify unto you his express pleasure and commands, " That you in yo'r respective Divisions doe use yo'r utmost endeavours to apprehend all Popish Priests and Jesuits that endeavour to seduce and prevent his Majestie's Subjects. And that if any of them be by them seduced and perverted to become Papists you doe strictly examine the Persons led away to the Romish Beligiou and make further diligent enquiry, who have been the Instru- ment and means in their seduccment and perversion, whether Priests or others. And that according to the Direction of his Majestie's said Prodamntion you proceed against them, according to the laws estab- lished.

HISTORY OF THE WENTWORTHS OP WOOLLEY.
In 1678 Lady Rockingham, the daughter of the first Earl of StraflFord, writes to Mr. John from Kockingham. She says that her son is very anxious to be a parliament man, and she has been informed that Mr. John has the making of two Parliament men, so she hopes he will reserve one of the places for her son. She says that he is going to stand for Knight of the Shire in the county of Northampton, but she does not wish to be too confident, there being several competitors he may perhaps miss it. She hopes he is well qualified for it, as being a right English man, that is well affected to our Church and State, according as both are settled by our good laws. The place that she wished him to reserve was the borough of Aldburgh. The whole of Ald-r burgh belonged to John Wentworth. In 1675 he purchased of Sir Francis Burdett lands in Mapplewell, Cargreen and Staincross for the sum of £946 2s. 6d. In 1679 Mr. John granted to the poor of Barnsley the sum of £50, to be paid yearly. In 1666 he was appointed one of the Commissioners for the North and East Ridings of Yorkshire for collecting the Poll Tax, and in 1667 one of the Commissioners for collecting the Royal Aids. By the Poll Tax every Duke paid £50, every Marquis £40, every Earl £30, Baronet £15, Knight £10, Esq. £5, Gentlenian £1.® There is a curious account in an old paper of a meeting between John Went- worth, Sir Thomas Wentworth, of Bretton, and Mr. Neville, of Chevet, in 1660, for the regulating the subsidy book and settling about the Militia at Barnsley. John complains very much of Sir Thomas Wentworth's behaviour to him about the subsidy, and also as to a suit about Gateroyds Pits, in which he was engaged against Sir Thomas Wentworth at that time. He says : — " Soon after this, in (1660) a subsidy being granted to the Kinge ; and Mr. Neville and hee and 1, meeting at Barnsley, for regulating the subsidy book for ye county, wch was then in some dissorder, after we had finished, as much as concerned our neighbours of the Wapen-
• One of hia (Mr. John's) lists for the division of Hallikeldin the North Hiding for the Poll money is still preserved. The charge for the whole division amounted to £H5 135. 6rf.
In 1671 an assessment was made on the inhabitants of the town of Woolley by the aid for granting a subsidy to his Majesty for his extraordinary occasions. John Wentworth was taxed £2 lOs.^ and there
was also an assessment made for the Royal Aid, in which Mr. John was taxed. In 1(567, Lord Albemarle and Ashley wrote to the commissioners for the Aid* for the West Riding about the payments of these Aids. A copy was forwarded to Mr. John, he being one of the commis- sioners for them, and again on the Ist of June, they wrote about the Poll money.

take, Mr. Neville proposed to settle our owne, but he husht it up, sayinge, Cozen Neville, wee may dispatch that amongst ourselves ;' wch was expressed against ye letter of ye Act for ye subsidy. Of ye newes that I heard of ; hee makes ye rate of himself at Bretton ; and whereas his family before that was rated at £13 13^. id. and ours at £16, and Mr. Neville as I take it thereabout, hee reduced himself to £8, myself at £12 13.9., I know not whether at present, and Mr. Neville much upon ye same proportion, whereas hee could not but verio well know, there was at yt time gone from iny family verie near £600 per annum wch had formerly belonged to it, and his increased £300 more than it had when I spoke to him to take of that surcharge ; hee refused to doe it, till I threatened him with an Appeale, as by 3'e said Act I might have done, and hee then with shame enough have been compelled to do it. Soone after ye subsidy aforesaide there came out some orders for settling ye Militia, with some improvement of it, and therefore gentlemen's estates and other freeholders' estates to bee raysed to a better value than they formerly had been. For this purpose hee and Mr. Neville I thinke be just met at Barnsley, where all ye wapentake attended to have their estates valued and to charge for everie £500 per annum a light horse. A frende of mine chanced to heare a free- holder a neighbour ; but one that never was frende (nor I thinke will be to my family) say they would give in my estate at £1000 per annum, see to have me charged two Horses, whereas it was but charged with one, when it was soe much better as I mentioned before ; but that frende giving notice of it to some others of ye commissioners it was prevented ; but I beinge then at London and soone after my returne Sir Thomas cominge to my house upon some other occasion, I asked him why he would seeme in my absence to give any countenance to such an injury to me ; to this he answered, that if they had put me on soe much, hee would not have taken me off, though if hee had considered ye Act of Parliament for regulating ye Militia hee might have known, I had ye same way of appeale to have procured an ease of ye surcharge without him.'*
In 1661 there is a letter from Matthew Hutton, son of the Archbishop of York, about the voluntary Benevolence, which had been granted to the king.
170 HISTORY OP THE WENTWORTHS OP VTOOLLEY.
In 1663, 64, 65, 66, I find Mr. John paying 135., which was the half-yeare s payment for thirteen hearths in his house at WooUey, and in 1682, eighteen shiUings for eighteen hearths. The payment for his Aldbrough estate was twenty- shillings yearly for ten hearths. This was one of the most odious taxes levied. See what Macaulay says about it in his History of England, " The tax on chimneys was even amongst direct imposts pecuUarly odious, for it could be levied only by means of domiciliary visits, and of such visits the English have always been impatient to a degree which the people of otheT countries can but faintly conceive. Tlie poorer householders were frequently unable to pay their hearth money to the day. When this happened their furni- ture was distrained without mercy ; for the tax was farmed^ and a farmer of taxes is proverbially rapacious. It was said that as soon as they appeared at the door of a cottage the children began to wail, and the old women ran to hide their earthenware."
In 1666 the Plague appeared at Woolley, and it was ordered by warrant under seal that Warders should be set at the doors of all the houses,^ and that it should be as fully and duly executed upon Mr. J. Wentvvorth's house as upon the others.
John Wentworth purchased much land in Woolley, Notton and Cudworth, of Thomas Wheatley of Woolley, a Colonel in the time of the Civil Wars.
He had land in Brieily. There is a letter from him to Lord Halifax, which I give : —
My Lord, — The decayes of a ruinated Farm House, in ye towne of Brierly inforced upon me, ye bouldness to begg tJie favoure of some assistance from your Lordship f(»r ye repaire of it, that you will bo pleased to give leave to get a few stones, in some convenient place, towards it. And since I have entered upon this confidence, would you give me leave to enlarge my suite further, that my tenant to this house, with the land belonging to it, may have the allowance, to enclose a piece of land, which lyeth in ye town fields, where it may be taken in without any prejudice in ye earth to any others adjoyninge upon it.

J. Wentworth.
In 1680 he made an agreement with the freeholders of Darton about the h'roits of Staincross Common.
It was in John Wentworth's time, in the year 1667, that it was agreed that the Church Rates of Woolley should be levied by a tax upon land, at the rate of an halfpenny an acre for plain land, and a farthing an acre for woodland. In the year 1666 he entailed his manor of Aldburgh and lands in Boroughbridge, Grafton, Minship, Dunsforth, Bramp- ton, Brearley and Hemsworth. In the entail it is mentioned that in default of issue of his son Michael and his sons, they were to go to William, Lord StraflFord, to whom he had been secretary, after that to William Wentworth, of Ashley Puerorum, and then to Thomas Wentworth, son of Sir George Wentworth, of Wentworth Woodhouse, Lord Straf- ford's brother.
During the time of the Civil Wars Mr. John appears to have been active on the Royalist side, though there is no record of his being in the army. He seems to have suffered for his loyalty, as in a letter to Sir W. Wentworth, he says : — " Knowing what I have suffered and my fiimily too."
From a letter written to Sir W. Wentworth, it appears that in the year 1678 John Wentworth had some quarrel with Lord Strafford about the Aldburgh election. It appears that he had charged him to have set his hand to a Petition, which was alleged to be a forgery. He says : — " If my Lord Strafford bee a gentleman, I am sure I am soe, for I am of ye next extraction to yrself and you may be assured I cannot but be sensible of such an indignity to it, and of ye doinges thereby put upon my estate, ye verie consideration whereof, if there had been no other, should have made me more considerate, but I hope the aflBdavit hath cleared that, and there are some amongst them of our Countrie yt knowe me so well as to vindicate mee, knowinge wt I have suffered and my family too ever since 1640 to approve ourselves honest, and now myself to dye soe."
172 HISTORY OF THE WENTWORTHS OP WOOLLEY.
Sir Philip Monckton, by a letter in the same year, says he will engage to terminate the business about the Aldburgh election, which it appears Mr. John agreed to. He says in a letter that he gives "yr Lordship humble thanks for ye honoure of yours, and yt he doth readily comply with yr Lordship's desires yt neither himself or his cozen Wentworth shall give Sir John Reresby any disturbance to his election/'
Sir Phihp was a dashing cavalier, and went through all the dangers of the Civil Wars. At Marston Moor, according to the tradition of the family, he was so badly wounded that he was obliged to ride with the bridle in his teeth. He has left some remarkable memoirs of his own experiences which have been partly printed in Mr, Hunter's history of South Yorkshire ; from them it appears that he was mainly instru- mental in admitting General Monck into York. He was taken prisoner at Willoughby Field. There is a fine por- trait of him in the possession of his lineal descendant. Lord Galway.
Mr. John, during the time he had the estates, added a good deal of land to the property. On the 22nd of February, 1682-3, he died, aged 76, and was buried on the 26th of the same month at Woolley.
Sir Michael,® the eldest son of John Wentworth, succeeded to the estates on the death of his father. In 1673 he married Dorothy, daughter of Sir Godfrey Copley of Sprotborough, Bart., Nov. 18th, 1673, and by whom he had eight sons and seven daughters. William, the eldest, afterwards his suc- cessor to the estates, was born at Woolley, August 8th, 1675, and baptized the same month. John, the second son, was baptized Nov. 6tb, 1676. Sir Michael, his father, left him by his will the manor of Aldborough. He died unmarried, aged 23, Jan. 13th, 1700-1, and was buried Jan. 16th. He made his will Dec. 16th, 1700, leaving the manor of Ald- borough to his brother Godfrey, to be charged with the pay- ment of £1000 to his mother Lady Wentworth, and <£500 to be divided amongst his brothers William, Michael, Thomas, and Matthew, (£100 each,) and the other £100 to his mother ; and £3000, which was charged upon it, by his father. Fourteen gold rings were given to the fourteen gentlemen who attended his funeral. He left a pair of silver dog

couples and a hunting horn to his brother Thomas. They are still preserved at Woolley. His funeral charges came to the sum of £514 155. It was found, however, after- wards that the sums which he had by his will charged on the manor of Aldborough to be paid to his brothers could not be raised out of it without selling the manor, which was done in the year 1701 by an agreement of Lady Wentworth, his mother, and William and Godfrey, his brothers. It was sold to the Duke of Newcastle for the sum of £7000.
Godfrey, third son, born 1678, and baptized Oct. 21st. He married Anna Maria, daughter of Giles Clark, Esq., of the Temple, and had three sons and two daughters : Michael, born July 7th, 1701, died March 15th, 1713-4, and was buried at Woolley ; William,^ second son, born Aug. 30th, 1702, died Sept. 10th in the same year; Godfrey, born Oct. I7th, 1705, at Brodsworth, and succeeded his uncle William in the Woolley and Notton estates,
Michael, fourth son of Sir Michael Wentworth, was a Liverpool merchant, and died unmarried in 1724.
George, fifth son, died young, and was buried Dec. 17th, 1686.
James, sixth son, was born Nov. 26th, and baptized Dec. 14th, 1686, and died young.
Thomas, seventh son, was born Feb. 17th, 1682-3, and was baptized Feb. 22nd.
Thomas hunted his brother William Wentworth's hounds for him. In an old book of expenses there is a payment 18th Sept., 1710, to Thomas Wentworth towards keeping ye foxhounds, £26 1 75. 6d. ; and again in the Fox-hunting Account, when Sir William joined his hounds with Squire Saville's, there is this : — '* My master paid to Mr. Thomas Wentworth £49 7^. 6d." He married at Woolley Aug. 2l8t, 1711, Margaret, daughter of Mr, Webster, and widow, firat, of Francis Nevile of Chevet, secondly of George Empson, of Goole. His wife died Dec. 24th, 1 733, and was buried at Horbury. He had an only son by her, William, of Horbury, who married Catherine, daughter of Sir Lionel Pilkington, Bart., and widow of the Rev. Cavendish Nevile, and died without surviving issue in 1785. His uncle William left him

Matthew, eighth son of Sir Michael, was born April 30th, 1689, and baptized the 25th of the same month at Woolley. He married, in 1721, Anne, daughter of James Sill of Wakefield, and relict of John Nevile, Esq. of Chevet He was registrar of the West Riding of the county of York and lived at Wakefield. He died in the year 1749, and was buried at Woolley ; he had two sons and one daughter : Peregrine,'® the eldest, lived at Tolston Lodge, in Yorkshire ; Michael, the second son, lived at Little Harbour, near Ports- mouth, in New Hampshire, U.S.A. Dorothy, his only daughter, married Peter Serle, of Testwood, co. Hants.
Elizabeth, the eldest daughter of Sir Michael Wentworth, was born in 1677, and baptized Nov. 22. She was married at Woolley to William Wombwell, Esq., of Wombwell, the 11th Feb. 1696. On the 4th March, 1698, I find her husband gave a release to Lady Wentworth, her mother, for £2000, which was her marriage portion. She had three sons and four daughters, William, George, and Michael, Dorothy, Elizabeth, Margaret, and Catherine. Mr. Godfrey Wentworth, afterwards possessor of the Woolley property, in the year 1729 offered the living of Bulwell to George, the second son, but he refused it. Michael, the third son, was an attorney at Wakefield. From a letter I now have in the year 1741 from him, it appears that he was very active in Mr. Godfiey's cause, when he stood as a member for York, and procured several votes for him. Mr. Wombwell died Sept. 25th, 1716, aged 46. There is a monument in Dar- ficld Church erected to his memory by his wife. Eh'zabeth died at York June 7th, 1764. There is also in Darfield Church a monument to Catherine, fourth daughter, who died in 1789, erected by her cousin, Peregrine Wentworth.

She lived chiefly at Hickleton, and most of her children were born and baptized there. Her husband died in his house in Sap Lane, York, in the year 1716. Lady Pilkington survived her husband and was married 2ndly to Sir Charles Dalston, of Heath Hall, who died March 5th, 1723-4. She was married 3rdly to John Maude, commonly called Lawyer Maude, of Alverthorpe, in the year 1730, at Horbury. She died August 15th, 1764, at Chevet, and was buried at Wakefield.
Frances, fourth daughter, was married in the year 1716, to Thomas HinchchfFe, mercer, of London. She also had £2000 as her marriage portion from her mother; she left a daughter called Dorothy. On the 25th April, 1742, her daughter wrote to Godfrey Wentworth of Woolley, asking him for a copy of her mother's picture, which is at Woolley.
Rosamond, fifth daughter, was born on the 2nd, and baptized on the 3rd Jan. 1687-8. She died on the 6th Jan.
Catherine, sixth daughter, was born Nov. 29th, 1692, and died Sept. 5th, 1711, and was buried at Woolley.
Margaret, seventh daughter, was born May 1st, and baptized May 10th, 1694. She was living unmarried in the year 1742 : there is a letter from her in that year to Godfrey Wentworth, about some money which she had not received and which was due to her by Father's will. She made her will Jan. 29th, 1760-1 ; she was living at that time in the parish of Saint Anne's, Soho. She leaves by it £500 to her nephew Godfrey Wentworth, to be placed out on security for nephew Michael Wentworth, and Dorothy, the wife of Peter Serle her niece, also £100 to the said Godfrey ; £100 to Mrs. Bold ; £100 to her niece Dorothy Wentworth; £100 and her four diamond stay buckles to her niece Dorothy Wombwell ; £100 and her gold watch with the chain and seals to her niece Catherine Wombwell ; to her nephew Peregrine Wentworth £50 ; to her niece Dorothea Hinchcliflfe, her purse of gold pieces, " that is in a little strong box in Mrs. Dorothy Wombwell's closet at York," and her worked bed and all her china and pictures ; to her maid Grace Horsfall,

£50 and all her wearing apparell, and an annuity of £30 during her life to be paid to her quarterly.
Having given the account of his children, I now return to Sir Michael's history.
In the year 1688, Sir Michael stood for the borough of Aldborough with Mr. Tancred : they were both elected, but there seems to have been a dispute about the election, from some papers I have found ; but, however, they were duly returned.
Sir Michael's book, containing the account of the business transacted in Parliament in the years 1685, 1688, 1689, is yet preserved at WooUey. He appears to have had the news of the business transacted in Parliament regularly sent to him. I find a curious order from Sir Godfrey Copley, ordering him to come up into the Speaker's Chamber (the Speaker of the House at that time appears to have been Serjeant Gregory, of Gray's Inn).
Sir Michael first served as Captain of a Troop of Horse in the Earl of Peterborough's Regiment. He was again appointed by James II., on the 20th Feb., 1685-6, Captain of a Troop of Horse consisting of threescore soldiers, three corporals, and two trumpeters. This troop was ordered by the King to be disbanded on the 25th July, in the same year. On the 22nd Feb. 1686, there was an agree- ment made between George, Lord Dartmouth, Master General of his Majesty's Ordnance, and Sir Michael Went worth. Sir Michael was to have for his troop out of his Majesty's magazine, 43 new carbines, and 43 new pistoUs with brass caps in holsters, for which he undertook to be responsible, and to deliver up the same arms in good repair when required (the hazard of the War only excepted). There are two interesting letters from Lord Peterborough to Sir Michael. The first, it will be seen, relates to leave on furlough ; the second, to a military riot resulting in loss of life at Oxford,
Sir, — I wrote to you in my last (how) willing I was to comply with your occasions as farr as they were compatible with the King's service and his orders. I am in the same intention still. But till I can dispatch the Maior (Major) or Captain Barlow, or that Sir John Talbot will have leisure from the King's business wherein he is employed, I cannot dispence with your absence. Sir, I will hasten them all I can, and hope to set you soone at liberty ; but. Sir, they who desire the honor and

Sir, — I have this day received yours, for which I give you thankes, and am extreamly mortified at the Accident has happened in ray Troope for besides the loss of three Good (men) it is an unhappyness to have such disorder happen when any man has a Charge or Government.

Peterborow.
In the year 1678, John Wentworth, Sir Michael's father made an agreement with Sir John Jackson's trustees, to purchase the manor of Hickleton, for the sum of £6400; the estate however being heavily encumbered, there was a dispute in Chancery, whether Mr. John was to pay off all these encumbrances, and it was not until the third year of James IL, in Sir Michael Wentworth's time, that the purchase was properly settled. Hickleton was sold to pay off Sir John Jackson's debts. Sir Michael Wentworth enclosed Hickleton Moor in 1684. In 1686, he was made a free burgess of the borough of Woodstock, and to be free from all manner of toll, pannage, passage, soutage and terrage, throughout the Kingdom. It appears also that he was one of the principal men in the Wapentake of Staincross, who had the charge of Horse.
Sir Michael Wentworth on the accession of William and Mary was suspected of being an adherent of King James, as I find that he was obliged in the year 1688 to get a certificate from John Brock, the clergyman of High Hoy- land, that he had received the sacrament according to the usage of the Church of England. Questions were put to the Justices of the Peace.
There is an interesting letter from Sir John Kaye to Sir Michael Wentworth, dated 1690, at the time when the Prince of Orange was coming to England. He says, " I am now told an express is come to Whitehall, that says. King William is in Dublin and Drogheda is delivered up — we have had bad success at sea with our fleet, which troubles many and is

attributed to bad arrangement. It's said, Lord Torrington is coming up to give an account and to vindicate himself/' This was the engagement, between the combined fleets of England and Holland and the French, when the French drove our fleet up the Thames.
In 1689, Sir Michael was appointed the Colonel of a Regiment of Militia, raised out of the Wapentake of Agbrigg, Staincross, Osgoldcross, Strafford and Tickhill, of which Mr. John Darcy had formerly been Colonel. His muster books are still preserved at WooUey. They were pikemen and musketeers. Mr. Prince of Woolley was a pikeman in the regiment. In the year of the Revolution, Francis Neville of Chevet writes to Sir Michael giving him the news of the Convention of Scotland having declared William and Mary King and Queen of Scotland.
Chevet, March 23^.
Deare Sir, — I was yesterday at Pomfret Fair where we had the news, that the Convention of Scotland had declared William and Maiy King and Queen of Scotland, and that they proclaimed the Duke of Gordon Traitor, if he did not deliver up the Castle of Edinburgh within such a time, all which will come to your town before this reaches you : hut you ordered me to acquainte you, with what I heard of Scotland and soe I trouble you with itt : the Scotch which fled from Ipswich are all taken (except five officers, which is thought are gone for Scotland) and are bringing them prison ei-s to London. The Northern parts are very quiett and hope, shall continue soe, if the Scotch will be quiett ; here was a Scotch regiment of Dragoones lay at Wakefield this last week in order for Scotland. The common souldiers were most of them for King James, but the Officers kept good tongues in their heads, whatever they thought. And now I think I have wearied your patience, and I wish you would send me newes sometimes, for we heare nothing but lyes. There was a man came post from Liverj)Oole to Wakefield, the last Thursday who sayes there had been a greate Battaille in Ireland, that 13,000 was killed of both sides, but that the Protestants got the better of itt but with great losse of men, having great want of Arms, butt we do not know how to credit itt. I am your afiectionate humble Servant
F. Nevill.
The Battle mentioned was probably the battle of tlie Boyne.
It appears from another letter from Mr. Nevile to Sir Michael, which I give, that he was a Jacobite.
Kirklees, July 6th.
Dear Sir, — When I came home of Monday Night last, I found a letter for me from the Sheriflfe, directly word for word the same with

My Wife's illnesse has given me too just an occasion, for my not appearing at the Assizes but I have once addressed to his Majesty upon this occasion, and as I am resolved to stand firm to what I have formerly sett my hand to, soe I think it not only unnecessary but troublesome to the King to receive repetitions for the same thing : my Wife joins with me, in the presentment of our humble services to you and your Good Lady. I am Deare S' your most affectionate humble Servant
Fr. Nevile.
I will (God willing) be with you of Monday next at Heath.
Sir Michael was one of the members of the Convention, who were summoned by the letter of the Prince of Orange to meet him at Westminster the 22nd of Jany., 1688-9, and who passed the vote that King James II., by having endeavoured to subvert the constitution of the kingdom by breaking the original contract between King and people, and having by the advice of Jesuits and other wicked persons violated the fundamental laws and withdrawn himself out of the kingdom, has abdicated the government, and that the throne is thereby vacant. When the Convention was declared a Parliament I find him sitting as a member of it. Sir Michael, with some other Yorkshire gentlemen, presented a petition from the Freeholders of Yorkshire about the unequal returns of all sorts of juries, and for the same to be rectified.
In 1684 Sir Michael purchased the Manor of Cold Hiendly from William Home, of the same place, for the sum of £2780, and in the first year of James II. he sold lands in Armley and Holbeck, in Yorkshire, to Mr. Godfrey Lawson, of Leeds, for the sum of £2376. In 1688 the Earl of Strafford, by his will in default of male issue of Thomas, Lord Rockingham, to whom he had left his estates, entailed the same on Sir Michael Wentworth in tail male, and the same year Sir Michael Wentworth settled the manor and house of Hickleton on his wife, Lady Wentworth, for her life. In the year 1696 there is a letter from seven of the Aldermen of Pontefract to Sir Michael, requesting him to go along with Mr. Ayscough to the Duke of Leeds, and let him see a petition and use his endeavours that it may be speedily handed to the King. They say they are at this time very much abused by a Mayor altogether led by the Dissenters, and '* who are endeavouring to do all the preju-

dice they can to the Church party of the Towne, and soe hath begun, with our honest Recorder, whom wee suppose they have much reflected on above, but knowe noe fault in him, but what they accompt to be his crime is that hee is a good Churchman, but wee need add noe more in his be- halfe ; his character and worth being soe well knowne to you. Please Worthy Sir, to excuse this trouble from. Sir, Your Most humble Servants, J. Franke, Alderman, Richard AusTWiCKE, Aid., F. Drake, William Coats, William Stable, Aid., Gervus Shillitoe, Aid., Thomas Tatlok, Aid., Baill. Bateman, Aid."
Sir Michael was a member of Parliament until the time of his death. He was three times made a Deputy Lieutenant, first in the reign of Charles II., and twice in the reign of James II.
He made his last will Jany. 14th, 1690-1, and left all his manors and lands of WooUey, Notton, Royston, Cold Hiendley, Hoyland-Swaine and Darton to his trustees, Sir George Cook, Sir Wm. Stanhope, Francis Neville, Wm. Wombwell, Henry Edmunds, to hold until William Wentworth, his eldest son, should attain the age of 21 years, and to pay to the said William during his minority £100 yearly. He leaves his lands in Aldborough, Boroughbridge and Minskip to the use of John Wentworth, his second son ; and to every one of his sons, except his two eldest sons, or such son upon whom the Manor of Aldburgh should descend, the sum of £1000 apiece, and that every one of his sons, excep such as aforesaid, should have £20 yearly for his maintenanceE^ and education, until they come of age ; and if any of the saii sons should be willing to be bound apprentices to merchant or any other trade, he doth thereby bequeath to every sucl^ son £300 more for binding him apprentice, but if any of tli e said sons should choose to go to the University, he thereby appoints him £60 a year for his maintenance, and to every one of his daughters respectively, who shall live to attain the age of 21 years, £2000 to be paid at their respective ages of 21 years, and such daughters as should be under the ages of 10 years at the time of his death shall have £30 per annum until she attains the age of 10 years, and such as should be under 14 years at the time of his decease to have £40 yearly, and such daughter as should be above 14 to have £80 yearly, till she attains the age of 21, and if any
HISTORY OP THE WBNTWORTHS OF WOOLLEY. 181
of the said daughters should happen to marry under the age of 18, he gives her £100 to buy her Wedding Clothes, over and besides the said £2000, and gives the tuition of them to Dame Dorothy, liis wife, and devises unto the same Dame Dorothy, his wife, the sum of £100, to be paid to her immediately after his decease, and makes her Executrix of this his last Will and Testament.
Sir Michael died in the year 1696, aged 42, and was buried Sept 13th of the same year at Woolley. There are two pictures of him at Woolley : he is dressed in armour, and wears a large full-bottomed wig and large necktie of James II.'s time. There is also a miniature of him when a young man, in much the same dress. His widow gave the plate for Holy Communion, which is still used in the Church at Woolley. After her husband's death she lived at Hickle- ton, which had been settled upon her until her death which occurred at Hickleton, Jan. 15th, in the year 1731-2. She was buried at Woolley, having outlived all her sons, except Hatthew of Wakefield, whom she makes executor to her will, which is dated Feb. 10th, 1728-9, and confirmed in the year 1 730, with the addition of a codicil. She desires to be buried at Woolley, beside her husband. Sir Michael. She gives to her daughter Worabwell, her daughter Dalston, her daughter Margaret, her son Matthew, and to her grand- danghter Dorothea Wombwell, her grand-daughter Dorothea Wentworth, and to her grandson Godfrey Wentworth, to each of them the legacy of £100; to her daughter Frances Hinchcliflfe, and to her grand-daughter Dorothea^ daughter to her son Matthew, £500 ; to William Wentworth, son of Thomas Wentworth, her son, £500; to her daughter-in-law, Margaret Wentworth, £20 for mourning; to her daughter-in- law . Katherine Wentworth, to her sister Wombwell, and to her brother-in-law Sir George Cooke, Bart, and to her grand- daughter Silvester, to each of them 10 guineas for buying thiogs in memory of her. She orders her executor within twelve months after her death to lay out the sum of £40 in sach Communion Plate for the Church at Woolley as he shall think most proper. To her daughter, Margaret Wentworth, her wrought bed, with the cabinet then in her lodging room, and all the gold, jewels, and other things which may be found therein at the time of her death, and desires her son William ta take care of her cousin, Jane Beaumont, and maintain her
182 HISTORY OP THE WENT WORTHS OP WOOLLET.
as she had done. By the codicil to this will made in 1730, she gives to her daughter Mary £300, besides the £100 before mentioned, all her china, her wrought bed, Japan cabinet, all the furniture in the room, a pair of silver candlesticks and snuffers that has her " Father's Coat of Arms and hers upon them, her Silver tea-pot, to be paid and given to her immediately after her decease. To her grand-daughter Dorothea Wentworth, daughter to her late son, Godfrey Wentworth, her pair of old Silver Candlesticks, her pair of best Hollen sheets, table cloths, and side-board cloaths of Uiper, and 2 doz. of napkins, that was her daughter Dorothea's ; to Michael Worabwell, her grandson, £50, to be j)aid a year after her death/'
There is a letter from her, four days before her death, to her grandson, Godfrey Wentworth. She says that she has had Dr. Johnson's, of York, advice, and is taking his medicine, which she hopes in time will have good effect. There are two pictures of her at WooUey.
There is an interesting letter from Dorothy, Mr. Grod- frey Wentworth's second daughter to her brother Godfrey dated 1733. She appears to have been in London at the time. She says : — *' According to the custom of the place, we made visits all the afternoon and at night to Lady Strafford's ; there was great enquiries made of cousin Wentworth ; whether he did not intend to come to town this winter. Lady Ann looks very brisk, her lover was there, so I fancy squares go right. She that was Mrs. Dalston is in town, but so much altered for ye worse, that you would hardly know her. I saw your nabor. Lady Winn, at the Kedote the night after she got to town.'' (The Lady Ann here mentioned was Lady Ann Campbell, who married William, Earl of Strafford. Mrs. Dalston was Ann, third daughter of Sir Michael Wentworth.)
William Wentworth, Sir Michael's eldest son, succeeded to the property on the death of his father. On the 25th of July, 1697, he married at WooUey, Catherine, the daughter of Charles Turner, of Kirkleatham Hall, Esq.
In the year 1 708 he contested an election for Yorkshire, but was not successful. He left a pack of foxhounds and probably hunted most of the country now hunted by the Badsworth. Mr. Thomas Wentworth, his brother, was his huntsman, and the hunting horn tipped with silver and the
HISTORY OP THE WENTWORTHS OF WOOLLEY. 183
silver couples left to hira by his brother John are still preserved at Woolley. William Wentworth's drinkiDg-horn, which holds a quart, is also preserved there.
There is still a tradition in the country about Woolley of a famous run with Mr. William Wentworth's hounds. It is said that the fox was found in a wood just outside the park at Woolley called Seckar, and that he was killed close to Manchester, which is nearly 50 miles across country.
There are some curious entries in his book at Woolley of fox-hunting accounts. In the year 1711 he joined his hounds with Squire Savile's for the season, and there is a fox-hunting account for £111 9s. Id. for that year paid to his men. I give some of the receipts. " Paid to Mr. Thomas Wentworth, £49 7^. 6d. (this gentleman was his huntsman). Pd. the earth stoppers, £3 65. 6d. Pd. Moulson for the stopping ; also sent by me when the fox was digging, £1. Pd.

Beans delivered out to the hunters for l)ecr. 1712, 14 stone.
He seems also to have been fond of racing. I find entries, " 1709, Subscription to Barnsley Plate, £l Is. Od. Pd. Mr. Childers for my subscription to Doncaster Plate, July 1st, 1710, £11 ll5. 6d. June 1st, 1713. Pd. Mr. Whiteacre, of Doncaster, my subscription for ye year 1712."
In the year 1718, Mr. William Wentworth founded the Woolley Free School for teaching 16 children of the in- habitants of Woolley arithmetic, grammar, and writing. He had a dispute with the freeholders about enclosing a parcel of land from the wastes called the Shrogshill. The freeholders agreed to confirm all his right and title as Lord of the Manor, and he agreed to apply the £40 arising from the sale of the wood cut in the Shrogs to building a school for instructing the children of the lordship. William Chilchase was the first schoolmaster, and was elected in the year 1727 by Mr. Wentworth.
In the year 1715, the year of the first rebellion, there was a letter from General Wills to Mr. Wentworth and the rest
184 HISTORY OF THE WENTWORTHB OF WOOLLST*
of the deputy-lieutenants at Leeds giving the account of the battle of Preston, as follows : —

This came express about 8 on Monday night. Another express on Sunday morning from Preston, '* about eight of ye clock, V7ch gives an account that some of Wills' men goeing into the town, the rebells killed some of them, upon \9ldch he ordered his soldiers to fire and killed about 500 of them, upon wch they all surrendered of the prison about 900 ; in the church also computed ; and 900 more in the town. One 5th part of the town is burned, 20 indevouring to make their escape was killed and part taken. Brigadier-Londley was breake to pieces. The Militia behaved themselves very well, 11 clergymen of the Clmrch of England was with them. Computed about 500 killed of ye rebells and about 200 of ye King's forces."
Ld. Burlington, the Lord Lieutenant of Yorkshire, in a letter to Sir Lionel Pilkington dated Jan. 3, 1715-6, says, that he is very much astonished at the conduct of Sir Walter Hawksworth and Sir W. Robinson, and that gentlemen, who profess themselves friends to the King and his government^ should act in such a manner and at such a time when the Pretender to the Crown is now in the kingdom.
On the Ist Jan., 1719-20, Mr. W. Wentworth gave two books of sermons to WooUey Church, which still remain chained to two pillars. They are upon "The Beauty of Holiness in the Books of Common Prayer, by Dr. Bisse. Printed 1719."
There is an interesting letter from Ld. Carmarthen to Mr. W. Wentworth, which I give, dated Jan. 7, 1727-8 : —
HISTORY OF THE WENTWORTHS OF WOOLLEY. ]85
Dear Sir, — My most hearty thanks attends you, for your kind recep- tion of me, but more especially for ye confidence you are so Good as to place in me, which I hope you will never repent, for as there is a most just God in heaven, before whom I must appear, I most solemnly declare, I have no Whig principles in me, neither will I ever espouse the interests of such Cattle. Pardon my troubling you with this, but as a vindication for myself, against my Unknown Governors, I can do no less, than begg the best of Friends to consult and confound them with my owne hand- writing. You are too sensible I am sure of my imfortunate Education, so I doubt not of your excusing my bad English and false spelling, as my heart is true to ye Good old Cause and its Friends. " John Key for ever " is a most sincere Expression from Dear S"* your most obliged and devoted humble servant while
Carmarthen, 1727.
In the year 1729, Mr. W. Wentworth seems to have been in a very bad state of health, and he went down to Bath for the recovery of his health. Before he went, on the 3rd of April, 1 729, he made his will. It begins : — " In the name of God, Amen. I, William Wentworth, of WooUey, being something indisposed of health, but of sound mind, memory and understanding, do make and declare this my last will and testament in writing, in manner and form following. First, I bequeath unto Katherine, my loving wife, the sum of £500, to be paid her within three months after my decease, and also my coach and six horses and harness thereto belonging ; and I do also give and bequeath to her in specie her sett of dressing plate." He also gives her the bed-hangings, vallance and appurtenances which is of her own working. He gives all his lands, tenements, goods and chattels unto his next immediate heir male (Mr. Godfrey Wentworth, his nephew), and makes him his sole executor. To William Wentworth, son of Thomas Wentworth, the sum of £200. To his sister, Elizabeth Wombwell, £100, to be paid her within twelve months of his decease. To his sister Margaret, the sum of £50, to be paid her within twelve months after his decease. He appoints Sir John Kaye and the Rev. John Copley, rector of Thornhill, to see that his will be duly performed, and gives to each one of them one broad piece of gold called a sceptre.
On the 29th of April, 1729, he writes to his nephew from Bath:—
Bath, April ye 25. Diar Goddt, — As I promist at Nottingham, this comes to tell you, I am still in ye Land of ye Living and yt ye waters have ruffled and

W. Wentworth. My Penn is so bad, I doubt Yo' reading it ; its a vast full Place.
The Bath waters, however, did him no good, for he died there on the 3rd June, 1729, aged 54, and was buried at Woolley, June 14 th.
There is a large full-length picture of Mr. William at Woolley. He is dressed in a red coat, with a hound standing by his side, and he wears a large fuU-bottonied wig. There is also a beautiful miniature of him. His wife survived him. She lived principally at Kirkleatham Hall after her husband's death. On the 21st Sept., 1729, ahc sold the six coach-horses and harness to her nephew, God- frey Wentworth, for the sum of £65. She died on the 23rd July, 1730, and was buried in the mausoleum at Kirkleatham, where there is an inscription to her memory.
William Wentworth having no children, Godfrey Went- worth, his nephew, succeeded to the property. On the 4th of March, 1727-8, Godfrey Wentworth was married at Woolley to Dorothy, daughter of Sir Lyonel Pilkington and Ann Wentworth his wife. He had two sons and three daughters. There is a letter from William, the eldest, to his father, still preserved at Woolley, in which he mentions that he and his brother have been moved higher in the school, and he sends his father a copy of the 1st, 4th, and 9th verses of the 105th Psalm. It appears that his father sent him abroad in the year 1745. I give a letter from Mr. Wm. ShephaiJ about starting the youn»»- gentleman : —

Wm. Shephard.
The Admiral sailed on the 14 Inst., and the wind has been fair for them ever since.
William died unmarried in 1746. Godfrey, the second son, was born the 25th of April, 1730, and baptized June Ist. He was also abroad with his father in 1748, 1749, 1750. In the year 1749, he was sent to the Academy at Turin. Godfrey died unmarried in 1757, aged 27. John, the third son, died young; born May 30th, 1739, died May 31st, the same year at Hickleton.
In the year 1741, Mr. Went worth stood as Member for the City of York with Sir John Kaye. The Hon. Edward Thompson, of Marston, and Sir William Milner, were their opponents. Sir John Kaye writes to him saying, on the 23rd October, 1 740, " That he hopes to have the pleasure of meeting him at Gelson's in London, on Sunday night, and that in a day or two Mr. Thompson will be convinced, that a placeman has very little share in the affections of a Citizen of York. Mr. Fox of Bramham, seems to have been a staunch supporter of his. On the 2nd Jan. 1740-1, he writes to him from Bramham Park, saying : —
Sir, — I am favoured with yours of the 26^^ and shall not fail endea- vouring the assistance of so renowned a knight as you recommend but much doubt of succeeding, as I hear he claims protection from another party, however all means shall be tryed, valeat quantum. The Severity of the season has made me somewhat more of the invalid than usual, wch would be bad encouragement for a (man) who has been used tenderly to attempt so long a journey and I would by no means have you risque yr attendance in another place (which) must be of ye greatest confidence, att this critical time, and I assure myself all imaginable care, will be taken, by those you intrust with y' interest here.

I beg leave to wish your Lady a happy year and many of them. Your obedient Servant

Bramham Park, Jan. 2Q^«
There are several letters preserved at Woolley about tho election, concerning the bringing in of the freemen, etc. Mr. Wentworth's efforts were attended with success and he was elected with theHonble Edward Thompson, of Marston. Mr. Thompson polled 1447 votes, Mr. Wentworth 1325, Sir John Kaye 1315, Sir W. Milner 1115. While Mr. Wentworth w^as in Parliament, he published a paper on the newspaper called the "London Chronicle" dated Sept. 29th, 1766, which occasioned the bringing on and passing of an Act called the Nullum Tempus Act, 1769, for the amendment of that of James I. It appears that in the year 1742, there was a report that Mr. Wentworth voted against the repeal of the Septennial Act, which displeased the people of York. The Lord Mayor writes to him saying, that he does not believe the report. I give the letter.
Sir, — I had the pleasure of yours by last post, with the Anonymous letter therein enclosed. I am inclined (to think) it came from some friend, whom I think wiioever it was had better have put his name to it, I know there was a report which came from Spill's Coffee house, that you either was absent or voted against the repeal of the Septennial Act, hut as all your friends, that I talked with, seemed to give no manner of credit to it, I did not think it necessary to take any notice of it. Indeed I now find that some of your friends are so weak as to be in some doubt about it, which I guess to have occasioned T. S. epistle. The report mentioned Sir Miles Stapylton as well as yourself, which occasioned Mr. Harland writing to Sir Miles and had his answer, that he was in the house and voted for the repeal. I do with the utmost sincerity, declare that I do and always wholly disbelieved the report, yet as some are doubtful in it, you will excuse me, if I take the freedom in telling you it is my opinion you should under your own hand, shew the falsity of the report. Your most humble Serv'

Sir Robert Walpole was Prime Minister at this time. The
representation of the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, Sheriff and
Commons of the City of York, in Common Council assembled,
to Mr, Wentworth and Mr. Fox their representatives, is
preserved at WooUey. The Council was held in the Chamber
of the Guildhall, at York. The instructions are as follows :
"We have seen and perused those excellent instructions
given by the City of London to their Members in Parliament,
for their conduct in the ensuing Session, and do assure
you, that we most heartily concur with them in the noble
sentiments and truly British Spirit of Liberty contained
therein. After this Declaration rt will be needless to' tell
you, that we expect you would regulate your conduct by
these rules and more especially unnecessary when we are all
thoroughly sensible, that you are both of you men of such
steady principles that no false honours or other temptations
can make you swerve from the real interests of your
oountry. la the present most corrupt and treacherous
generation, it may seem very bold in us to assert so much ;
l>ut let your conduct this ensuing Session, be the Touchstone
o f your integrity . Let your attendance be early and strict
SLud vote for no supplies till the grievances are redressed
%nd those excellent salutary Laws enacted which are men-
t;ioned in the London Instructions. Li like manner we most
Earnestly exhort you, that you do your utmost to have the
great offender brought to an open and fair trial. We join
in the cry of an injured Nation for Justice, Justice against
biis numberless crimes and depredations. And we do tell you
n the words of one of your own body that look upon the
lower of a House of Commons, to be nothing unless it can
t any time reach and pull a wicked Minister from behind
he Throne, and give him up to National Justice. That
ower that can only support our sinking Constitution and
ansmit it in full vigour to Posterity.'' Mr. Wentworth
hilst he was in Parliament had a house in London in Soho
(uare. In the year 1769, I find he paid £200, in con-
leration of laying down his Gown as Alderman of York.
There are two letters from Lord Strafford of Stain borough,
the second creation, to Mr. Wentworth.
Sept' 18, 1734.
R, — Very sincerely, no man can have a greater respect for you, than It is a great while I have wished your friendship and of late, that

desire has grown stronger that I heartily wish I had some bettor way of convincing you of it, than by profession wch, I hope you will believe. My affairs in other parts will soon call rae from these and I uhould he sorry to leave this country without waiting on you. The days are too short, to think of an afternoon visite so I should be glad you would allow me the liberty of a friend, to dine with you on your own dinner, for adding anything would be making a stranger of me. I only write to know the day would he most convenient to you and your lady, for me and my wife to wait on you and we shall with pleasure attend you. I amfnot^a little impatient to know how Ward's pills agree with you, being so heartily anxious for your health, and am truly Sir your most faithful humble Servant
Strafford.
In another letter he says, " Hurrying down with Ld. and Lady Winchelsea, who were strangers here, made me omit taking leave of you.*' He also says, " that Ld. Carlisle, he and his daughter, will sup with me to-morrow night, and to make his way as easy as I can, 1 hope you will give them leave to come through your park, and have sent Wardraan to show him the way ; if he has your leave, wch I don't doubt in the least of, having always found you very oblig* ing." In 1736 there is a letter to Mr. Wentworth from Ld. Malton at Wentworth House, saying, " That he is sorry to have been prevented seeing him before going, and hopes for that happiness upon his return. Lady Malton joins in her humble service as due and lier wishes for your good journey thither and back."
There is an interesting letter from Dorothy, Mr, Went- worth's sister, to him in the year of the Rebellion, 1745. She says that she " hears that there is but little company at Bath but invalids, that the Rebellion makes most people choose either to be at their respective countrys to guard that for the safety of their persons. Severall that went to Bath were so frited with the reports there that they re- turned to town directly, but they were not of the mail kind. I am glad to hear General Wentworth is in such good spirits about it. I am told the Scotch will not fight an inch from English ground for the Pretender ; all they want is to break the Union. Since I wrote you the news about the Queen of Hungary, there has been a report in town that Prince Charles ralleyed his forces and gained a complete victory, but this wants confirmation, and most people believes it not true.''
The General Wentworth mentioned in this letter had been
HISTORY OP THE WEXTWORTHS OP WOOLLEY. lUl
coitimander of the land forces in the expedition to the West Iiidies, which had such an unfortunate end. By his will in 1747 he appointed Mr. Wentworth one of the persons to liold his estate in trust for the payment of the money left by him in his will, and also gave him twenty guineas for the purchase of a ring. He desired that all the drafts, papers and journals relating to the expedition to the West Indies, or to any other public business wherein he had been em- ployed, might be collected together and deposited at Bretton.
Mr. Wentworth had three daughters, of whom Anne Maria the eldest was born in June, 1736, and married in 1760 Sir George Armytage, of Kirklees, and had three sons and three daughters. Godfrey, the third, afterwards suc- ceeded to his grandfather's, Mr. Wentworth's estates.
Lady Aimytage died in 1788, and there is a monument erected to her memory in Hickleton Church. Dorothy, Mr. Wentworth's second daughter, died in infancy ; and Catherine, the third, died unmarried in 1821. She lived at the Cottage in the gardens at WooUey. In the year 1766 Mr. Wentworth made a new dam at Woolley, and James Brindley, the famous engineer and maker of the Bridgewater Canal, was engaged in making it, and his estimate is still preserved at Woolley. Mr. Wentworth had a dispute in the jear 1767 with Lord Byron, the great-uncle of the poet, about his estate at Bulwell in Nottinghamshire, and he had the opinion of the famous Sir William Blackstone, the author of " Blackstone's Commentaries," about the dispute. He improved the Woolley estate very much. In 1772 he added a great deal to the house, in 1 759 he purchased the advow- son of the living of Woolley from the Archbishop of York, and he enclosed Woolley Common in 1778. From 1766 until his death in 1789 he Uved at Hickleton. He bought all the lands of the freeholders that were then remaining in Woolley. For the estate of Mr. Prince, the largest free- holder, he gave the sum of £7500. In the year 1778 his wife Dorothy died at York, and he died Jan. 18, 1789, at Hickleton and was buried there. He was in his 84th year : see Appendix A. By his will, made in 1789, he left all his property to his grandson, Godfrey Wentworth Armytage, who took the name of Wentworth. There is a monu- ment erected to Mr. Went worth's memory in Hickleton Chu rch.
VOL. XII. P
192 HISTORY OF THE WENTWORTHS OF WOOLLEY.
His grandson, Godfrey Wentworth Wentwortli, was a minor when he succeeded to the estates ; he lived at Hickle- ton during his minority. He was member of Parliaaient for Tregony in the county of Cornwall, and high sheriff of York- shire in 1796. He improved the property at Woolley very much. Tlie woods whicli had been without walls before were all walled round. He added very much to the house, built new stables, and a new lodj2;e and gates were erected from a design by Sir Jeffrey Wyatville in 1821. He married Amelia, daughter of Walter Ramsden Hawks- worth, of Hawks worth, Esq., and had three sons and six daughters : — Godfrey who succeeded him and married Anne, daughter of Walter Fawkes, Esq., of Farnley ; John, mar- ried to Harriet, daughter of Jacob Bosanquet, of Broxbourn ; William died, unmarried.
Amelia, eldest daughter.
Anna Maria, died young.
Catherine Frances, married to Colonel Clements.
Charlotte, married 15th Nov., 1834, to William A.Camp- bell.
Dora, married to Sir Samuel Hancock.
Mary Elizabeth.
Mr. Wentworth died in 1834, and was buried in the vault in the church of St. Clement Danes in London belong- ing to the family, and where Godfrey his great-grandfather was buried.
APPENDIX.
A. — There was a beautiful picture of Mr. Godfrey Wentworth and his wife Dorothy at Woolley by Sir Joshua Keynolds, which is now lost, but the print of it is still preserved. She is sitting with a dog in her lap, and he is standing by her. There is a portrait of him at Woolley. He wears a large full-bottomed wig.
B. — There are two deeds of the reign of Henry 8th relating to Woolley still preserved there. The first is a deed of the 3rd year of Henry 8th between Sir Richard Woodrove, the owner of Woolley, and Thomas Rockley and John Rishton, defendants. Sir Richard had instituted a suit against them, for breaking and huntinge in his Park at Woolley, and the deed is an agreement that the parties shall be friendly

to each other. The other is a deed of the same reign, between Sir llichard Woodrove and Sir James Straiigways, the Lord of the Manor at Notton. Sir Richard havitig enclosed into his Park, from the wastes, t here was a dispute between him and Sir James about the boundaries of the wastes of Woolley and Notton, which w^as settled by an agreement. This shows the age of the Park at Woolley.
C. — Although the manor of Woolley was not purchased until 1599 by the Wentworths, it appears that some of the Wentworths of the other branches of the family had lands at a veiy eaily date in Woolley, for I find John Wentworth of North Elmsal, amerced, under the court of John Rilston Lord of Woolley, in the 3rd & 4th years of Henry 4th, and in the 36th of Henry 8th I find Thos. Wentworth of the same place, holding a messuage in Woolley of Sir George Darcy, by the tenure of paying yearly unam sagittam (arrow) vocatam, a brode arrow.

instances, Cottinghara, Winestead and Wilberfosse. One early "bracket" brass remains at Brandsburton. Of in- scriptions alone, a few of especial interest are included, but the list is not complete ; makers' names appear on three late examples, viz., Lowthorpe, Rudstone and Nunkeeling.
AUGHTON.
RICHARD ASK, ESQ., AND WIFE MARGARET, 1466.
The male effigy in complete plate armour with salade helmet. The gorget has a mentonniere reaching nearly to the level of the mouth, the breast-plate has a tapul or pro- jecting ridge down the centre, and is further strengthened by the addition of derai-placcates. The pauldron on the left shoulder overlaps the breast-plate, but that on tlie right is of lighter construction in order to give more freedom to the sword arm. The coutes are large and of uniform size ; the gauntlets have long peaked cuffs. To a short skirt of taces are attached two large and broad tuilles, and between these appears the pointed skirt of the haqueton. The genouilliferes are large with overlapping plates above and below, the sollerets very long and pointed ; the spurs have guarded rowels and are strapped over the instep. Small gussets of mail appear at the insteps and at the right arm- pit. The sword is suspended at the left side from a long narrow belt ; on the right is a long straight misericorde or dagger, also suspended from another narrow belt crossing the taces diagonally. Under the feet is a lion with its head turned upwards in a most uncomfortable position.
The female figure, of which the lower part is lost, repre- sents a lady in the ordinary widow's costume, viz., a veil head-dress, plaited barbe, kirtle and mantle.
Below the figures is a three-line inscription in black letter, half lost : —

^argareta uxor tm quaiiam fiUa tini
obinnt xii'' }}it mtnm omixi^ mnt^
MONUJfENTAL BRASSES IN THE EAST RIDING. 197
Four shields of arms are also lost. The male effigy is 36in. in length, and the remaining part of the female 14in. The slab is 72in. by 3Gin., and now lies on the chancel floor within the altar rails.
Richard Ask, of Aughton, was the eldest son of John Ask, by Elizabeth, daughter of Judge Gascoigne. From the Inquisition post mortem it appears that he died on the feast of St. Wilfrid the Bishop (12 October), 1460, seized of the manor of Aughton, the patronage of the Priory of Ellerton, the advowson of Ellerton church, and divers other lands and manors; his heir being John Ask, aged 17 years (Inquis. p. m. 38 — 39 Hen. VI., No. 54).
His wife, Margaret, was a daughter of Sir Robert Ughtred, Knt., of Kexby, Lincolnshire. By will dated 7 August, 1465, and proved at York 20 November, 1466, she desires to be buried in the choir of Ellerton Priory, and leaves £10 for a stone to be placed over herself and husband, — " lego ad empcionem unius lapidis super sepulchrum meum et mariti mei ponendum et jacendum X£" {Test. Ehor. II. 275). The inscription clearly reads, "obierunt xij die Octobris," from which it may be inferred that she also died on the 12th day of October.
Compare with this example the brasses (I) at Sprot- borough, to William Fitzwilliam, Esq., and wife, 1474, engraved in the Society^s Journal, Vol. XL, p. 80 ; (2) at Leeds, St. Peter, to Sir John Langton and wife, 1459, engraved in WardelVs Antiquities of Leeds, pi. v. From their general similarity these examples must have come from the same workshop, possibly from some school of local engravers settled in the city of York.

The words in brackets are conjectural.
At the four corners are the symbols of the Evangelists. The figure is 3 ft. 10 inches in length, and the size of the whole composition 7ft. by 3ft. 10 in. The brass is con- siderably worn, more especially the head and centre of the figure. It now lies in the chancel.
According to Torr s MSS.. Roger Godeale was instituted 25 May, 1375, and his successor 9 May, 1429. From the inscription we learn that he died on the feast of SS. Philip and James, viz., 1 May. Torr also states that his will was made on 20 April, and proved 17 May, 1429, but thi^ document cannot now be found.
BEEFORD.
THOMAS TONGE, LL.B., RECTOR, 1472.
Full-length e£Ggy holding a large clasped book and vested in amice, albe, and richly diapered cope. This combination of vestments is of rare occurrence, another example is at Romald Kirk in this county, a precisely similar figure, and in Winchester College chapel there are two demi-figures similarly A^ested. This brass also affords an early instance of a priest holding a book, the earliest known example being a figure in episcopal vestments at Adderley, Salop, c. 1390.
Marginal inscription much mutilated, the missing parts supplied from Dade's MSS. taken in 1662, and printed in PoulsorCs Ilolderness.

BISHOP BURTON. I.
PETER JOHNSON, VICAR, 1460.
The earHest known example of a " chalice " brass. Tiiis peculiar form of brass seems to have originated in Yorkshire, for in this county are to be found the earUest examples, viz., Bishop Burton, 1460 ; York, St. Michael, Spurriergate, 1466 ; and Leeds, St. Peter, 1469. They were, in all probability, the work of a school of local engravers settled in York. In the first quarter of the sixteenth century, chalice brasses arc fairly common in Norfolk, and most of these are of local origin, probably the handiwork of engravers settled in Norwich.
In the example under consideration the chalice is 8^ inches high, with broad hexagonal base, short stem with large knot,
MONUMENTAL BRASSES IN THE EAST RIDING. 201
and a very deep and wide bowl. A chalice with the same form of knot is still preserved at Goathland in this county. See ArchcBological Journal, Vol. XLIII., plate ii., p. 146. Below is a three-line black letter inscription :

JOAN, WIFE OF RALPH ROKEBY, ESQ., 1521.
Full-length eflSgy wearing a kennel-shaped head-dress, long close-fitting gown with fur cuffs and edging. This gown is fastened round the waist by a short girdle termi- nating in three rosettes ; from the lowermost of these hangs a chain bearing an ornamented pendant.

The eflSgy is 32 in. in length ; it has been reset in a new stone, and now lies on the north side of the chancel floor. The figures of the children are lost.
Joan was a daughter and co-heir of John Holme, of Paul- holme, and wife of Ralph Rokeby, who, in her right, was seized of one moiety of the manors of Upsal and Thorngum- bald. The inscription mentions three children, WilUam, Agnes and Rose.

III.
LADY ISABELL ELLERKER, WIFE FIRSTLY OF SIR JOHN ELLERKER, AND SECONDLY OF CHRISTOPHER ESTOFT, ESQ., 1579.
The workmanship of this brass is vile, the figures being little better than caricatures ; the material is also of poor quality, consequently the whole slab is in very bad condi- tion, much worn and broken. It is a matter of conjecture whether the male eflSgy is intended to represent Sir John EUerker or Christopher Estoft. Tlie figures are in the usual costume of the period, the only peculiarity being the small peaked cap worn by the 'man.
One shield of arms remains charged with (arg.) a fesse dancetty between three tialbots' heads erased (sa.), for Ellerker, impaling (arg.) on a bend between two unicorns' heads erased (az.), three lozenges (or), for Smetlielaye.
Above the effigies is an inscription in Roman capitals^ much broken in the lower part : —

SIR JOHN DE ST. QUINTIN AND WIFE LORA,

Sir John is represented in a mixed armour of mail and plate, holding in his hand a small heart. His head is unfortunately lost, but the indent shows an acutely pointed bascinet. The camail and hawberk are of mail, the latter more distinctly shown than usual.

ingly fine and interesting examples, as from the position ol Sir John's right hand we are enabled to see the inner side : the fingers are articulated and the backs of the hands pro- tected by a single plate with a short cuff, the borders o( which are richly ornamented. The coutes are of an unusual shape and slightly ornamented, as are also the genouilliferes ; these are of rather a globular shape and are strapped over gussets of mail. The sollerets are long and pointed with unguarded rowel spuis. Under the feet is a greyhound couchant.
The lady wears a kirtle with tight-fitting sleeves, the cuffs reaching to the knuckles and much resembling her husband's gauntlets in shape ; over the kirtle is worn a long flowing tunic with large loose sleeves. Her head-dress is of the kind known as reticulated, and is richly jewelled. A neck- lace of pearls with a pendant encircles the throat, and a small dog with a collar of bells appears at her feet.
Above the figures are two shields of arms; the dexter ig now lost, but according to Dade it bore — (or) a chevron (gu.^ and a chief vair — for St. Quintin ; the sinister still remains and is charged — (gu.) three chevronels (or) and a chief vair — for St. Quintin. Dade calls these " St. Quintin modern " and " St. Quintin ancient. '
A marginal inscription encloses the whole, a few words only remain, but the complete inscription is preserved in the British Museum, Harl. MS. 4031. fo. 236 :

The figures are of very large size, the male eflSgy being 6 ft. 8 in. in length, and the female 5 ft. 11 in. The slab measures about 9 ft. by 5 ft. ; it lies on the chancel floor immediately adjoining the north wall, and until quite recently was covered by the seats.

Sir John was born about the year 1347, and served in numerous military expeditions under the Earl of Lancaster.

In 1382 he was keeper of the castle of Scarborough, and in 1386 knight of the shire. He was twice married, firstly to Lora^ second daughter and co-heiress of Herbert de St. Quintin ; she died, as the inscription states, in 1369, leaving a son Herbert, who married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Robert Hilton, and died without issue. His second wife was
Agnes, a daughter of Herbert and widow of John
de Wassand. In her will dated 24 January, 1404, and proved at York 9 April following, she describes herself '' relicta domini Johannis de Sancto Quintino militis defuncti,'' but desires to be buried '* in chore ecclesiae de Syghlesthorne juxta sepulturam Johannis de Wassand quondam mariti mei.^' {Test.

This brass has suffered from over-restoration, in fact it was almost entirely renewed about the year 1855. A report of the Associated Architectural Societies, dated October 5, 1854, and printed in Vol. III. p. xx. of their Proceedings^ explains why a restoration became necessary, — '* At Cotting- ham, the fine brass of Nicholas de Louth, founder of the chancel, was recently torn from the stone in which it was inlaid and thrown aside, while the stone itself was cut up for the purpose of working in with the new uniform paving." At the time of the restoration the whole of the incised lines were filled up with black composition.
The marginal inscription was completely renewed at the same time ; it is in eight Latin verses,,and reads as follows : —

On the 23rd of July, 1355, Dom. Nicholas de Luda was collated to the prebendal stall at the altar of St. Katherine, in Beverley Minster, and on the 16th of May, 1361, was instituted to the rectory of Cottingham, on the presentation of Edward the Black Prince. During his incumbency he
» On the 11th of February, 1700, Abra- ham de la Pryme visited the church and copied this inscription. It was then per- fect, but Mr. Pryme's transcript is very inaccurate ; he added this marginal note to his diary: — "This I do not under- stand, but I writ it down as it is there to be read." Mr. Charles Jackson, who edited De la Pryme's diary for the Surtees Society (vol. 54, 1869), gives the follow- ing note : — " This epitaph, as the scholar will at once see, is in hexameters, and has been given by the Diarist in a very incorrect way. Since the time of De la Pryme the inscription has been mutilated, and it has fared even worse in an at-
tempted restoration, which took place some yeai"8 ago. Anything more ill-ad- vised could scarcely be imagined. Thi* fanciful restoration has rendered it im- possible to present the inscription to the reader as it once stood. The following is a conjectural restoration of it : —

SIR THOMAS DE ST. QUINTIN AND WIFE AGNES, c. 1420.
Large full-length eflSgies under double canopy with shields and marginal inscription. The position of the figures is unusual, the lady being on the dexter side. Sir Thomas is represented in complete plate armour, his bascinet encir- cled and almost covered by an orle composed of feathers and fastened in front by a circular jewelled brooch. The right arm- pit is protected by a roundel, the left by a palette somewhat resembling the later form of the shield with the upper and lower edges curved forwards. The taces are few in number and terminate in a fringe of mail, below which appears the haqueton. A rich and broad belt of open metal work supports the sword and misericorde, the latter having a curiously worked handle. The genouiUi&res have plates below, the soUerets are long and pointed and have large rowel spurs strapped over the insteps. At the feet is a lion.
His wife Agnes wears a crespine head-dress with square side cauls and dependent veil, a short-waisted over gown fastened by a broad girdle and having long surplice sleeves terminating in very large turned-back cuffs. At her feet are two small dogs with collars of bells. The canopy, unfortu- nately mutilated, is double, of the usual ogee shape with shields in the pediments ; that over the knight — St. Quintin, that over the lady — De Mauley (?). Between the finials are four shields of arms :
(1). St. Quintin impaling (or), a bend (sa.?) De Mauley ?
(2). Lost.
(3). St. Quintin impaling De Mauley 1
(4). St. Quintin — (or) a chevron (gu.), a chief (vair).
The marginal inscription, much mutilated, commences over the head of the knight :

212 MONUMENTAL BRASSES IN THE EAST BIDING.
From the fact of the date of his own death being left blank, it may be safely concluded that the brass was laid down at the death of his wife Agnes, and that she prede- ceased him.
The eflBgies measure 4 ft. 9 in. in length, and the size of the whole composition is 8 ft. 4 in. by 4 ft. The brass now lies on the floor of the St. Quintin chapel.
It is engraved in BoutelVs Man. Brasses of England ; Gent. Afag., Vol. XXX., N. S., 1848, p. 602; Haines' Manual, Vol. I., p. 185 (male eff.) ; Smith's Old Yorkshire, Vol. for 1881, p. 60.
The printed pedigrees of the St. Quintin family are all very inaccurate and furnish no clue to the persons commemo- rated by this brass. No will of Sir Thomas is to be found at York, nor any Inquisition post-mortem in the Record Office. The Visitation of 1563—64 makes "Thomas, Lord Seintquyntin, temp. Ric. II., son and heir of William, Lord Seintquyntin," marry " Annes, one of the doughters of Mawle.'' This agrees with the arms over the lady's effigy, but cannot be relied upon as any proof.
In Trinity term, 4 Hen. IV., and Michaelmas, 5 Hen. IV. there is record of a fine between William Kelk, Hugh Arderne, and others, plaintiffs, and Thomas de St. Quintin, of Harpham, and Agues, his wife, touching the manor of Harpham, and various lands in Burton Agnes, Lowthorpe, Kingston-upon-HuU, &c. {Feet of Fines, York, H. IV., No. 43). tn connexion witli tliis fine the De Banco roll for Easter, 4 H. IV., m. 306c?., iclates that Hugh Arderne gave the King lialf a mark for licence to agree with Thomas de St. Quintin, of Harpham, and Agnes, his wife, touching the manor of Harpham.
From the same roll under an earlier date — Easter, 19 Ric. II. — it appears that a Thomas de St. Quintin presents himself against Sir John de St. Quintin, chivaler, of a plea whereof he, the said Sir John, made waste, sale and destruc- tion of lands, houses, &c., which he had in custody of the in- heritance of the said Thomas in Harpham, &c., to the dis- inheritance of the said Thomas. In another plea it is set out that the keepers of lands, tenements, &c., held in socage should render a reasonable account to the heir when he comes of age, the said Sir John refuses to render to the said Thomas an account of the issues of his lands, &c., in Harp-

Full-length effigy in plate armour, with inlaid collar, pro- bably of the SS., but now lost.
His armour consists of a bascinet, gorget, breastplate with demi-placcates, epauli^res and coutes, those on the right arm diflering in shape from the left and being of slighter con- struction ; gauntlets with peaked cuffs, skirt of taces with two tuilles strapped in front, genouillieres with plates below, sollerets composed of overlapping plates with guarded rowel spurs fastened over the insteps. The sword is suspended from a plain belt crossing the taces diagonally, and a small dagger hangs on the right side.

These brasses have been already described and illustrated by F, R. Fairbank, Esq., M.D., F.S.A., in the Xlth volume of the Society's Joiivjial, page 171.
With regard to No. 1, Haines speaks of it as having part of an inscription on the back ; a careful examination of the reverse, when loose, failed to reveal this inscription.
No. 3 was formerly in the choir — " also in the choir a white stone with a brass plate inscribed to Peter Dolman, 1621.'* See Hutchinson^s DurhaTn, Vol. III., p. 460, quoting from Johnson's MSS.
In the Vlth volume of the Archceolocjical Journal^ p. 82, is a short account of the Howden brasses, communicated by Mr. Joseph Smith, of Pocklington, in which he states that he had been informed " that there was another figure with these, representing a man in robes like a priest.*' Nothing was known of it at the time Mr. Smith wrote (1849), nor has it since been recovered. It probably represented either Thomas Morton, 1447, or Thomas Babthorpe, S. T. B., 1478, both Canons of this church. Johnson in 1670 noticed both these brasses — " in the choir two gravestones of blue

JOHN HARYSON AND WIVES ALICE AND AGNES,

An early instance of a quadrangular plate. It bears the effigies of John Haryson, " scherman and alderman,'* and his two wives kneeling at prayer desks on which lie open books. The groundwork or pavement is diapered in squares, and between the figures was a representation of the Trinity, but this has been completely defaced ; enough of the out- line, however, remains to show that it was of the usual type, viz., God the Father seated on a throne and holding a crucifix.
John Haryson wears the ordinary civil dress of the period ; behind him are the kneeling figures of his three sons, Thomas, John and William. His wives are identical in dress, with the exception of the ornamentation of the girdles ; both wear the kennel-shaped head-dress and close- fitting gown which usually accompanied this form of head- dress.

The plate measures 18 by 17^ in., and now hangs in a wooden frame on the wall of the south aisle.
A "scherman" is a shearer of the nap of cloth or clothworker. In the Test. Ebor. Vol. L, p. 260, is printed the will of Thomas de Thometon, sherman, in which he bequeaths to William Thorneton " servo meo, duo par forpicarum et duas mensas pro cessura panni et unum platyng borde &c. qus3 pertinent arti." It is dated 26 December, 1400. Amongst the wills registered in the Hustings Court of the City of London, is one of James Fynche, sherman, dated 15 February, 1508, containing a bequest to " the masterwardens of the Fraternity of the Assumption of the B. V. M. of Shermen of thd city of London.'* This Fraternity was subsequently incorporated with the Cloth workers of London. (See Calendar of Wills, Hustings Court, Vol. II., p. 614.).
There are two wills at York which may relate to the persons commemorated by this brass; the first is that of John Henryson or Harrison, the elder, alderman of Hull, dated 14 September, 1525, proved 11 March following, in which he desires to be buried within the south aisle of the church of our Lady. Mentions his wife Agnes and a son John. To this son John is bequeathed " my oil mylne and cisterns of lead '* with a proviso that he " shall dely ver to Agnes my wyf half the oile that shall be maide of the sede that I have of this yere.'' {Test. Ebor. Vol. V., p. 211.) The second is that of Agnes Haryson, widow, of Kingston-upon-HuU, dated 8 March, 1525, proved 6 November, 1527, in which she desires " to be beried in the church of our Ladio " (Reg. Test.

ROUTH.
SIR JOHN ROUTH AND WIFE AGNES.
c. 1410.
Large full-length eflBgies under a double canopy, with inscription below.
Both wear the collar of the SS., but in the lady's case only the ends and the trefoil fastening appear, owing to the collar of her gown having been once inlaid.
Sir John is represented in complete plate armour with a lion at bis feet. His armour is quite plain, and is a good typical example of this date, so well known from the fan- shaped coudi^res and the roundels defending the arm-pits. It is, however, one of the very few brasses on which the mode of fastening the misericorde is clearly shown ; here it is attached on the right side by a short cord passing through a loop fastened to the lowermost tace. A similar example occurs at Brabourn, Kent, 1433.
His wife Agnes wears the crespine head-dress with square side-cauls, but no dependent veil, an overgown with large surplice sleeves and turned-back collar and cuffs, once inlaid. The gown is fastened round the waist by a narrow

ornamented girdle. At her feet is a small dog with a collar of bells.
The canopy is double, of the usual ogee shape, with ornamented circles in the pediments. It is, unfortunately, much mutilated.
Half the inscription is now lost, but it is given entire in Warburton's Collections (Brit. Mus. Lansd. MS. 894, fo. 74) ;

The male effigy measures 47 inches in length, the female 46 inches. The size of the whole composition is about 8 ft. by 4 ft. It lies on the chancel floor within the rails. The stone is so much decayed that the brass-work stands about one-quarter of an inch above the present surface.
The brass is engraved in Poulsons Holdemess, Vol. I. p. 399. Little seems to be known of the family of Routh, of Routh. There is a short pedigree in Flower's Visitation of 1563-4 {Harl Soc. Vol. XCI.p. 16), and a few notes in Paulson's Holdemess, I. 392. A Sir John Routh, chivaler, was appointed Escheator in the county of York by writ dated 31 Oct., 21 Ric. II. Particulars of his account for two wliole years and 26 days include the usual issues of the Esclicatry and also an account for the issues of the lands and goods of Thomas Arundel, Archbishop of Canterbury ; Thomas, late Duke of Gloucester, and Richard, late Earl of Arundel, who forfeited the same by judgment of Parliament in 20 Ric. 11. (P. R. 0. Escheator' s Accounts '\^ York^ 21 Ric. 11. to 1 Hen. IV.).
There are various entries in the De Banco Rolls from 3 Hen. V. to 9 Hen. V. in which Sir John Routh appeai-s.
A Sir John Routh also ap])ears to have been a trustee for Sir John Goddard, for in 7 Hen. V. there is a Fine between Sir John Routh and others, plaintiffs, and Sir John Goddard, deforciant, touching manors and lands in Holderness. {Feet of Fines, Divers Counties, 7 Hen. V. No. 10.)
In 2 Hen. VI. occurs another between Isabella, widow of Sir John Goddard, plaintiflF, and Sir John Routh and others, deforciants, touching the same manors. {Ibid. 2 Hen. VI. No. 20.)
In the De Banco Roll (Mich. 2 Hen. VI. m. 426 d)
MONUMENTAL BRASSES IN THE BAST HIDING. 225
Isabella, widow of Sir John Goddard, Knt, gave the Kinj^ forty shillings to agree with Sir John llouth, Knt., and others, touching a third part of manors in Holderness, &c. In the CWam Rege Roll (Mich. 8 Hen. VI. m. 8 & 133) is a precept to the SheriflF of Yorkshire to distrain many persons, including John de Routh, Esq., son of Sir John de Routb, chivaler, of Routh.
Mention is also made in the De Banco Rolls of this John de Routh, Esq., and his wife Matilda Hothom, and from the same source it appears that he was dead in 26 Hen. YI.
When Sir John Routh died has not been ascertained, but the style of the brass points to a date between 1410 and 1420. Possibly his wife predeceased him, and the brass may have been laid down at her death.

Small full-length effigies, nearly efiaced. The male figure in complete plate armour with long sword and misericorde. The lady wears the small horned head-dress and close- fitting gown with full sleeves.

Although the figures are so much worn, the inscription is quite sharp, possibly it has been covered by a pew and so protected.
The effigies are 20 inches in length, and the slab still lies in the south aisle which they rebuilt.
By will dated March 15, 1447, Robert de Hoton, of Newton-super-Derwent, Esq., desires to be buried " in insula ecclesisd mese parochialis de Wilberfosse de novo edificata."

II. A MAN IN ARMOUR AND WIFE, o. 1540.
Only the upper portion of the male effigy remains ; it represents a man in armour, bare headed, with long hair and short beard, his head resting on a helmet His armour consists of a collar of mail, breast-plate with demi-placcates, scallop-shaped pauldrons and coutes.
The figure of the lady is more complete, but the wide fur sleeves of the overgown are missing ; from the perfectly straight joint it is certain that this effigy must have been built up from pieces, and it is highly probable that were the figure taken up it would be found to be a " palimpsest'^ The lady is represented turning towards her husband, she wears a small pedimental head-dress, an undergown cut low at the neck showing a finely plaited partlet finished by a
MONUMENTAL BRASSES IN THE EAST RIDING. 229
plain band fastened by a rosette. The sleeves of this uuder- gown are puffed and slashed, and terminate in frilled cuffs. The overgown is short, more resembling a mantle with very wide fur sleeves. From under the hands appears a long rosary, and at the feet is a greyhound couchant. Both the figures wear massive linked chains round the neck, and rings on the fingers. Under the man is a group of seven sons, all kneeling, the eldest in armour, the rest in civil costume. Under the lady six daughters, also kneeling, the eldest in a costume similar to that of her mother, the rest with long hair and plain gowns. The head of one is lost.
The marginal inscription is totally lost.
The male eflBgy when perfect, measured 2 feet 9 inches, the remaining fragment is 10 inches in length, the female effigy is the same size as the male. The slab measures about 9 feet by 4 feet, and lies in the chancel. The brass is engraved in Poulsoris Holder tiess, Vol. II. p. 479.
It probably represents some member of the Hildyard family, possibly Sir Christopher Hildyard who died in 1538.

ON THE ARMS OF DE ATON.
The arms called de Aton's are the second of the six quarteringa on the shield on the fine Hall Chimney Piece ■which, about the time of Queen Elizabeth, Sir Thomas Boynton erected in his house at Barmston. This Chimney Piece was afterwards removed to Burton-Aj^nes, the seat of Sir Henry Boynton, Bart., recently visited by the Association under the guidance of Mr. Bilson. Con- siderable interest is attached to this coat as it was the subject of a controversy in the last days of the age of chivalry, the latter part of the long reign of king Edward III., a period signalized by other disputes of a similar nature, the most celebrated of which was that between Sir Richard Scrope and Sir Richard Grosvenor as to who had the better right to Azure a bend or. It appears that Sir William de Aton 'le pere ' and Sir Robert de Boynton had a long-standing quarrel about the right to use these arms : — Or, on a cross sable, 5 " hulls' heads'^ cahoshed " argent, not, be it noted, bucks' heads as on the chimney piece.
As the historian of Hemingbrough (p. 359) wrote, " These things appear trifles now, but in those days they converted friendly houses into the most bitter foes." Unfortunately all we know about this dispute is what we can gather from the document given below, copied verbatim et literatim from Harl. MS. 1178, fol. 44, a miscellaneous heraldic collection in the handwriting of

Mr. Sampson Lennard, Blewniantle. in the reign of James I. It appears that de Aton cballeDged de Boynton in the presence of Lord Percy, and they seem to have agreed to abide by his award. Lord Percy after due consideration decided in favour of de Aton, but we know not on yihiA grounds. This was all, it seems, de Aton wanted, an he there- upon by this deed dated at Seamer, 5 April, 1375, granted the bearings in dispute to de Boynton and his heirs for ever.

ON THE AHMS OF DB ATON.

The question arises whose arms were they ? Oa succeeding as sole heir, to the de Vescis in 1316 Sir Gilbert de Aton, Sir William's father — had doubtless taken the plain cross sable of that great family, previously he had been the heir and representative of Warin de Vesci of Knapton, a younger son of that house. It may have been this Warin who added the 5 bulls' heads to the cross as a difference.^ We unfortu- nately do not know Sir Robert Boynton's reasons for laying claim to this relinquished coat. The various Boynton pedi- grees in the earlier generations are unreliable although there remains an unusual amount of evidence for a good one in this case,* but the match of a William de Boynton with the " d. et h. of William de Aton by Anne d. et h. of Henry de Acclom " has probably some foundation. The alliance however which brought the lands in Cleveland was in the earlier part of Henry Ill's reign, viz., Ingram de Bovington with Joan elder d. et co-h. of Roger de Acclom ; of that there is con- temporary proof. As to Sir Robert de Boynton of Boynton himself, he was son and heir of Roger de Bovington or Boynton and aBt. 20 on his father's death in 1352. He died on Thursday after the feast of S. Katharine (2 Dec.) 1378, leaving John his s. et h. set. 22.^ John had an only child Elizabeth married to Thomas Newport, esq. (ob. 15 Nov. 1423 M. I. Boynton.^) and they had issue. Sir Robert's contemporary Sir Thomas Boynton of Acclom, who must have been a near relative, was a deponent for Scrope, 1386, being aet. 40, as was also Sir William de Aton himself, aBt. 90, and his wife's nephew the umpire in his own dispute,
' It should be meDtioned that a modem pedigree in Fosters' Ed. of Visitations of York, p. 609, gives Warin de Vesci : — gules, a cross patonce argent with label and makes his daughter's son William de Aton add this minus the label in a canton over his own arms, Barry of six, or and azure. One would like to see the proof of this as it is so probable. This is Aton as quartered by the Cliffords. Qules, a cross patonce argent, is the coat of de Aton in a contemporary Roll, as it was that of W^illiam de Vescy in a much earUer Roll (Glover's). We find the Vescis as well as the Atons after them using two coats, or, a cross sable, and gules, a cross patonce arg.
* Compare the Boynton pedigrees in Poulson's Holdemess, vol. i. p. 196, and Harrison's Qilling West, p. 115. Besides
proof of the four early generations in the Meaux Chron. there are the two Inqa. p. m. Margt. widow of Sir Thomas Boynton (11 Hen. 4, no. 27, & 3 Hen. d, no. 40), which give the following un- usual amount of genealogical information, that her husband was son of Thomas, son of William, son of Ingelram, son of William by Alice d. of Ingelram Monceaux, and the heir Thomas, son of Sir Hen. son of Margaret's husband, set 12. Then there is a Prob. setatis 27 tl. 3, proving that Robert, son and heir of Koger de Bovington, was bom and bap- tised at Bovington on Palm Simday, 6 Edw. 3. (12 April, 1332).

266 ON THE ABMS OF DE ATON.
Lord Percy then Earl of Northumberland. De Aton's deposition on account of his great age was taken at Aton in Sept. 1386.^ Sir Thomas in a roll of arms is said to hare then borne the fess between three crescents. Unless the Newports died out it does not appear clear why Sir Thomas' descendant at Barmston considered himself entitled to use the cross and bulls' heads as well. In Flower's Visitation of Yorkshire, 1563 — 4,® Sir Thomas is only accredited with Boynton quarterly with Gules, a cross patonce or for de Aton I suppose. The Cliffords, however, quartered this coat for de Aton.

WILLIAM COLLINGS LUKIS, M.A., F.S.A.
By W. GREQSON, F.G.8.
The death of the Rev. W. C. Lukis, which occurred at his residence, Wath Rector}^, near Ripon, on the 7th of December, 1892, removes a furaihar name from the ranks of Yorkshire archaeologists, and one who will long be remembered with fech'ngs of deep respect and esteem, not only in the county of York, where he lived and worked so long, but also by archaeologists throughout the whole of Western Europe. His tall, erect, manly form, and genial countenance, were well known for many miles around the ancient city of Ripon, and he was certainly one whose friendship it was a pleasure and a delight to claim. Mr. Lukis was not only an archaeologist of great eminence, but he also possessed considerable knowledge of geology, botany, and other branches of natural histor3\ He had long been an observant traveller in various parts of Europe, Africa, &c., more especially in the Netherlands, Denmark, France, Italy, and Algeria ; and his writings and researches show that accurate and intimate knowledge of those countries which lie acquired from careful personal investigations. The deceased gentleman was also an artist of considerable power and merit, as many of his works, illustrated by his own hand, sufficiently testify. He was born on April 8th, 1817, in the Island of Guernsey, and was the third son of Colonel Frederick Corben Lukis by Elizabeth, youngest daughter of John Collings, Esq., of Guernsey. From his father, who was also an archaeologist of some distinction, Mr. Lukis inherited a taste for natural science, which he pursued at Cambridge, under Professors Henslow and Sedgwick ; and the writer has frequently heard him dilate on the benefits he derived from his connection with those far-famed scientists. He received his early education in Guernsey, afterwards in France, and at Blackheaih under the m^istership of the Rev. Sanderson Tennant, whilst in January, 1840, he graduated in honours at Trinity College, Cambridge. Twelve months later he was ordained at Salisbury, by Bishop

Denison, and licensed to the curacy of Bradford-on^Avon (of which parish the late Canon Harvey, formerly prirate tutor to Prince George, now Duke of Cambridge, was then vicar) .
In the year 1845 he was appointed chaplain to the Marquis of Ailesbury, who also successively presented to him the livings of Great Bedwyn, Wilts, in 1850 ; CoUingbourne Ducis, Wilts, in 1855, and Wath, near Ripon, in 1861, which latter he held up to the time of his death. At Wath Mr, Lukis was instrumental in restoring the old parish church, repairing the rectory, and enlarging the schools. He also filled the office of Rural Dean for eleven years in Wiltshire, and six in Yorkshire. Whilst resident at Cambridge he was one of the earliest members of and contributors to the Camden Society, then newly formed ; and when living at Bradford-on-Avon he published a quarto volume on *^ Ancient Church Plate," and a few years later two pamphlets on the necessity of looking into the condition of Church Bells, with a view to their preservation, and also the Security of Church Towers. In 1855 the deceased gentleman read a paper before the members of the Wilts Archaeological Society, which was subsequently pubUshed under the title of "An Account of Church Bells, &c.'' He was a frequent contributor to the Journals of the Archieological Institute, of the British Archaeological Association, and of other kindred societies.
In 1847 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Northern Antiquaries, Copenhagen ; in 1853 a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, London; and in 1867 a Member of the Society Arch^ologique de Nantes, at whose meetings he read papers which were printed in the Society's Bulletin.
In 1872 lie was elected a corresponding member of the Soci^te de Climatologie Algerienne. In 1875 he published a guide to the barrows and other prehistoric monuments of South Brittany, and contributed numerous reviews of Archajological works to the columns of the " Athenseum/' whilst from time to time he was a practical barrow-digger in Wiltshire and Yorkshire.
His first diggings were in the Guernsey cromlechs, afterwards in Brittany, the Netherlands, and elsewhere.
The Society of Antiquaries, London, published his scale plans of rude stone monuments, with descriptive text. In 1871 he read a paper before the members of the Eipon
WILLI ABI COLLINGS LUK18, M.A., F.S.A. 287
Scientific Society, of which he Wcos long an active member, on the Maison de Dieu Hospital, at llipon. He also contributed to the '' Yorksliire Archaeological and Topographical Journal," a paper on Anglo-Saxon graves on Howe Hill, in the parish of Burneston (North Yorkshire). In July, 1874, the Royal Archaeological Institute, in conjunction with the Yorkshire Archaeological and Topographical Society, held meetings at Ripon, and visited, amongst other places, Castle Dykes, near North Stainley, where Mr. Lukis read a paper giving an account of the excavations and the relics which he, in conjunction with Messrs. Heslington, Sharpin, and Hebden, of Ripon, had found there.
Mr. Lukis also edited, for the Surtees Society, Dr. William Stukeley's Diaries and Letters, published in three volumes ; and when the Ripon Millenary Festival was celebrated, in 1886, he was an active member of the committee which was formed to carry out the arrangements, and wrote an interesting paper entitled '' Ancient Ripon," since included in Mr. W. Harrisons "Millenary Record^" a beautifully- illustrated volume published in 1892. Amongst other works, the deceased gentleman was the author of *' Danish Cromlechs and Burial Customs," '' Certain Peculiarities in the Construction of Chambered Tumuli,' '* On Flint Imple- ments found in Tumuli in the parish of Wath,'' &c., &c.
Mr. Lukis, who was a prominent Freemason, and a Justice of the Peace for Wiltshire, married Lucy Adelaide, daughter of Admiral Sir Thomas Fellowes, who survives her husband, and by whom he had issue nine children, two sons and four daughters only surviving, the second daughter being the wife of H. C. Bickersteth, Esq., J.P. of Ripon (a son of the late Bishop of Ripon). One son is in Australia, and the other in Ceylon. For a portion of the above particulars the writer is indebted to the " Biograph and Review " for July, 1881.
That gifted authoress Katherine S. Macquoid, in her interesting volume " About Yorkshire," thus describes her visit to Wath a few years ago : —
" We drove back to Wath and spent a pleasant evening with our hospitable friends (Mr. and Mrs. Lukis), vrho showed us the carefuUj- rostored church. There is some curious Saxon sculptured work ; there are also fragments of the stone coffin lids with early thirteenth-century floriated crosses carved thereon. There is also a very old vestry or
288 WILLIAM COLLINGS LUKIS, M.A., F.S.A.
saciisty on the north sido of the chancel which Mr. Lukis thinks was occupied by a sacristan in charge of tlie vessels and treasures of the church ; there is a slit in the wall through which he could see the high :iltar and watch the light burning before it. The church doors were barred within by means of a wooden beam which, when not in use, slid into a hole in the door jamb ; it is therefore evident that whoever secured the door must have dwelt within the building. This view was not originated by Mr. Lukis, but he considers that it solves the puzzle of the cell atTanfield (three miles from Wath), and that the method of securing church doors from within the building is a strong argument in its favour. There is also a curious double piscina in Wath church. It is to be regretted that Tanfield was not restored with the learning and reverence that have been shown at Wath."
A Committee has recently been formed, under the chairmanship of Sir Reginald Graham, Bart., of Norton Conyers (which is close to Wath, and where the talented authoress of "Jane Eyre " at one time resided), for the purpose of placing in Wath church a stained-glass window, or some other lasting memorial of the late much-esteemed rector.
The remains of Mr. Lukis were interred on Saturday, December loth, in the ancient graveyard at Wath (where he had laboured so long and faithfully), in the presence of a large gathering of parishioners, and others from a distance, whilst letters expressive of deep sympathy were received from the Bishops of Richmond and Ripon, the Marquis of Ripon, and numerous other friends who were unable to take part in paying their last tribute of respect to the memory of one who was so ripe a scholar, so kind a friend, and of whom it may truly be recorded —
** He seemed the thing he was, and joined Each office of the social hoar To noble manners, as the flower And native growth of noble mind."

1* By this important and interesting deed the four daughters and co-heirs of Walter Box partitioned his estate in Hull. As Canon Raine has pointed out (Fasti Ebor, p. 323, note y), the family of Box were eminent merchants both in Hull and London a century before this. To the document there are now only the seals of Walter Frost and Robei't Sturmy. They are both good specimens and well preserred. The legend on Frost's seal has a missing word which it is difficult to supply, but the whole seems to hare been some play upon his name. Note that the Frosts of Newland changed the ittB into a chevron. The dots on the
fess do not indicate the metal or, but merely the fancy of the engraver, whose graver slipped and left a mark across the fess. There is some confusion in the Frost pedigree which has not yet been cleared up. Frost occurs as a surname as early as 1166 (Liber Niger, p. 270). See also Mr. Brooke's Coucher Book of Selby, vol. i. pp. 229, 238 ; Frost's Early Hist, of Hull, p. 147, and the late Mr. Fowler's article in Y. A. J. vol. i. p. 146. The quasi-heraldic seal of Sturmy is curious. The charges indicated do not seem to have been borne by any of the name as arms.

^ Dodsworth, Huuter and Eastwood were unaware that there was ever such a place in EcclesGeld as Reynaldtborpe, nor has the name been found in Hecordd coeval with these deeds, which is more remarkable. Thorpe Salvin was formerly called Rikenildthorpe, but neither that place nor Thorpe Heeley answer to the description of tho locality iodicated by these deeds, which seems to puiot to some cite not far from Ecclesfield to the east.
The deeds are given with all their ertdcntly incorrect spelling of names and places. Tho Rev. Dr. Qatty too. who
has been so long vicar of Ecclesfield, and is so intimately acquainted with bis pariah and its history, has never met with any mention or tradition of such a place, and writes, *' I hardly dare venture to offer lUinsforth colliery and farm as the Riiinaldthorpe of your enquiry.** Nor has Dr. Sykes. whose knowledge of local deeds is so extensive.

WRAGBY REGISTERS, BOOK No. I.
By the R«t. E. H. SANKET, M.A.
The oldest of the Wragby Register Books is a tliin paper volume, bound in parchment, containing forty-iSve leaves, and measuring fifteen inches by six. Its general appearance indicates, that it was about the cheapest book which the autliorities of the day could purchase, to satisfy the recently- issued and unpopular order that a Register of Baptisms, Marriages and Burials should be kept in every parish. It is at present in a very dilapidated condition ; the parchment cover is brown and shrunk, some of the leaves are missing, and all are torn and frayed at the edges, so that some of the entries have disappeared, and many of them are partially destroyed, and it appears at some time to have suffered considerably from damp. It is now most carefully kept, wi-apped in parchment and placed in a vellum pocket, in the iron safe in the vestry of the church, and a complete copy of it has recently been made by the writer.
The Volume contains :
I. The Register from 1538 to 1598.
II. The Churchwardens' Accounts from 1604 to 1625.
III. The Accounts of the Overseers of the Highways from 1626 to 1631.
I. The Register begins thus : T(he Register Booke) of all t(he Chrystenynges, Buryales) and Marr(yages of the parocheners) of Wragby (in the yeare of our) lorde god 1538. (Incipiens in die) Octavi Cricesm(as)
The words placed between brackets have disappeared, but they are supplied from a similar heading of 1605, which appears to have been a reproduction of this earlier one, when a new book was begun. The entries are in English and are carefully divided into Christenings, Marriages and Burials, from 1538 to March 20th, 1579, when Latin is introduced and continued until the end, the entries then being made consecutively, without being sorted under their proper head- ings. The scribe having announced that the new Register Book was to begin on the Octave of Christmas, proceeds to
310 WBAGBY hegisters, book kg. I.
enter the baptism of Alyce Belamye in November "anno predicto," the next entry being the baptism of John Prince of Ffoulbye on Januai-y 30th. For the first few years the word christened is used instead of baptized, and it is frequently abbreviated into ** ^(/oened," and for death the beautifiil ex- pression " did change his life'' is substituted. Those pei-sons who had the right to tlie title of knight, or esquire, or gentleman, are accorded their proper titles, e.g., Anthony lloose is described as gentleman in 1538, but there is nothing to distinguish the social status of any other persons, nor is their place of abode usually mentionec^ although Alyce Belamye is described as of the lath garth,^ which is in the township of Hessle, and where there is now no house ; only a few others have the name of the township in which they resided appended to their names.
At the bottom of the first page is the following curious entry in another hand: — "Robt. Jubbe one cow, William Scholey one cow, John Clayton one cow, Robert Scholey one cow, Richard Oxley one cow, .... (Charle) sworthe, one cow." The Oxleys were a substantial yeoman family who owned land in the township of Hessle. Of the other possessors of cows I know nothing certain. In 1539 is entered ** John Harper ^.he crepple did change his ly(fe) the vii"' daye of Jan." In 1542 the burials rose from an average in the foui* previous years of 10 to 97. There were 33 burials in July, and 27 in August, five on the second of that month ; with the cooler weather of autumn and winter, the number was reduced until they had fallen to two in December, and three in January, but even in the next year the number was more than double the average. One entry is peculiarly touching : " Gone wom«in dwellinge by the way well dyed wthout auye knowledge of any of the pish dyd chaunge her lyflfe the v^'' daye of June." It is well known that Avidespi-ead distress was caused throughout the country by the closing of the monasteries, and it may be that the dissolution of Nostell Priory at the end of 1540, was the cause in part of this excessive mortality. It is to be remem- bered that the Priory owned practically the whole parish,

and was a large employer of labour, and it would necessarily take time for the parish to adjust itself to a new state of things. In the meantime the people w^ould suffer from want of employment and consequent want of food, and would become an easy prey to any epidemic that might arise. 1558 was also a year of great mortality, 49 burials being recorded in nine months. The burials for 1544 and 1547 and the whole of the register for 1545 is omitted; there is no leaf missing here, but one is gone between pages 16 and 17, and two between pages 32 and 33. In 1550 the death of Richard Rawdon, pryste, is recorded; and again, in 1552, Tho. Gylle, preste, and in 1565 Thomas Symson, clericus. Between December 20th, 1553, and June 20th, 1558, no entry has been made, while a note at the side of the page says, ** (In) the dayes of (Que)en Mary there (was) no register/'
After this there follows nothing but a dieary list of names, until we come to this curious and interesting memorandum :
" Memorandn that it was a(gi'eed) by sr Thomas Gargrave kn3'gh(t) .... Dobson, curate, John Whyttcars . . . Smyth, John hyll als Vincent, Robt Fyeld, Robt. wager, Mychell Symson, kyrkewardens, Ac Dni 1573 w*^ the cosent of the pyshe of Wragbye, that Cudbart Flemyngeof sharleston, gentleman, shall have to hym and his successors a place in the north syde of the churche of Wragbie, whereas the scole was & at this prsent is accustomed (to be) kepte, so longe as he or they doe paye, or cause to be payd, yearlie to the poore of wragbie, or into the hand of the collectors, or churchwardens for the tyme apoynted, niid the yere, there upon the holie dayes to sytt wthout anye Interruption of anye pson in office or out of office.
The Sir Thomas Gargrave here mentioned acquired the Nostell Priory estate, together with the donative of Wragby, in 1558, and the property remained in possession of that family until 1613, when the then possessor, Sir Richard, became bankrupt, having run through his property by extravagance and dissolute living. The christian name of ray predecessor has unfortunately perished, and I have not yet recovered it from any other source. The number of churchwardens, which was formerly six as above, i.e., one for each township, is now reduced to two, although until the formation of the townships of Ryhill and Wintersett into a separate ecclesiastical parish in 1875 three was the usual number. The Cuthbert Flemynge here mentioned was associated with his father, John Flemynge, in buildini^
812 WRAGBY REGISTERS, BOOK NO. I.
Sharlston Hall, in the neighbouring parish of Kirkthorpe in 1574, and his name may yet be seen carved over the porch there. His widow, Dorothy, married Francis Stringer, whose son Thomas by a former marriage, married Barbara (i.e. Fiemynge's), daughter and sole heiress, and thus the Sharlston estate passed to the Stringers, who paid the shilling a year above mentioned until 1702, soon after which date the family became extinct.
In 1574 the baptism of Agnes, the daughter of a "certe gypsye" is entered, and in 1577 a part of the Register is omitted.
" (It) was Agreed upon the xvi*'» of (no)vemb Anno 1578 betwixt the churchewardens & the rest of the pishe of wragbie and thomas milner of wragbie aforesaid, that he, the said thomas miluer, shall from the said xvi^ day of novemb of his owne costs <k charges, maintaiue, uphould, and keepe.

The names of Thomas Milner and the six churchwardens are appended to the above. The bells, which were three in number, seem to have been a constant source of trouble and expense until, in 1786, a new peal of six was procured.

" 1598 Obitus Henrici Williamsone quinto die Julii aqua suffocatus."
Tiie entries relating to the Gargrave family are numerous; the death of Sir Thomas Gargrave is recorded on March 26th, 1579, that of Sir Cotton on June 16th, 1588.^ Most of Sir Cotton's numerous children appear to have been baptized in Wragby Church, but the other entries in which the name of

WllAQBY 15EGISTEHS, BOOK NO. I. 313
Gargiave occurs, appear to refer to younger sons, or to persons of the same name occupying humble positions, as the following will show : " 1584 Sibilla filia, ut putat:, (Blacke) Thomas Gargrave (a servant) et Isabellse Brathet tricessimo die Augusti baptizat : " The words in brackets ai-e written above the line, with an insertion mark to show their place, and in another hand. Thomas Gargrave is here stated to have been a servant, but to what does the word *' black " refer ? To the child ? Another Gargrave is mentioned in the churchwardens' account, as foregoing wages due to him.
As regards names. Although there are some few families now resident in the parish of the same name as those men- tioned in this register, they are none of them able definitely to trace back their parentage to any persons living here in the sixteenth century. Of christian names, by far the commonest is John, then Richard, Robert, Francis, Henry. Of female names, the commonest are Alice and Johane or Joan, then Margaret, Margery, Elizabeth, Agnes, Isabell. Of names which are not now common, \\e have Emmot, Dionis, Dio- nisia, Gervase, Bridget, Avarye, Janet, Cicely, Ursula, Alured (the name of the last of the Priors of Nostell), Laban, and in 1 588 Hamlet.
Between 1538 and 1550 the average number of baptisms is 12, of marriages 3, and of burials 15 ; but the average of burials during this period is untluly raised by the great morUility of 1542-3, before referred to ; omitting those yeai-s the average is 7. Between 1552 and 1597, 14, 4 and 10, but the Register lias been too irregularly kept to afford a correct index to the extent of the population. The average for the later years of the century, i.e., between 1583 and 1597, rises to 17, 4 and 15 ; during these years the register has been more carefully kept, and the figures would appear to indicate a population of about 800.
At the end of the book several leaves are missing, so that the entries from August, 1598, to the beginning of 1605, when a new book commences, are unfortunately lost.
J I. The Churchwardens' Accounts from 1604 to 1625.
For some unaccountable reason, between an entry made on Feb. 16th, 1583, and the next entry made on Feb. 25th, no less than ten leaves wero originally left blank. In 1604, the churchwardens, with that economy which is charact istic of the race, seized upon these blank leaves and util ^

The account for 1604 is as follows :

Wyne silver mentioned in this account is elsewhere called wyne pennies, or wyne money. Each township contributed a fixed sum towards the purchase of wine for the Holy Communion, in addition to the usual church rate, and occa- sionally an entry "received of strangers towards wine" occurs. The latest entry of wine money occurs in 1666, after
WRAOBY REGISTERS, BOOK NO. I. 315
which the custom appears to have been dropped. The amount of wine consumed was often very large. Thus, in 1688 32 quarts were provided for Easter Day at 14d. a quart, while for Whitsuntide, Michaelmas, and Christmas, 16 quarts were provided. Moss-getting is a very frequent entry, and continues well in the middle of the seventeenth century. It appears to have been used for bedding the slate on the roof, and for stopping openings generally. The use of the expression "priest'' for the incumbent, so late as 1604, is, I think, unusual. In 1605, the book of canons promulgated in 1604, was purchased at a cost of 1*. 6rf., and the " olde byble" sold for 4^. For the year 1605 there are two sets of churchwardens' accounts, one dated April 9th, the other April 27th, totally different in every respect, even to the names of the churchwardens. One set of wardens " payd for the king's armes and setting of them upon frame and all 235. 3d." ; they also purchased a new covering for the com- munion table, and a pewter "kan/'and gave 12c?. to a poore scholar at Mr. Archdeas (archdeacon's) request. The others in no way distinguished themselves. In 1606 occurs the entry "received as rent for the parish kyne, IO5." This occurs frequently afterwards, sometimes as " cow wage," and explains the note relating to cows above alluded to. The churchwardens appear to have let out cows at an annual charge of 55. each, presumably to help the poorer inhabitants. In 1608 "Mr. Harbor the preacher" received 3s, id. for his services, but in 1619 they got a preacher for 25. 6d., and in 1622 for 25. In 1609, the clock is first mentioned. This clock remained in the tower till 1885, when it was removed, being quite worn out. A fox's head was considered worth l5. of parish money in 1618, i.e., half tlie value of a preacher. Coals to warm the church are first mentioned in 1620, but coal was worked long before then in the parish, for Prior Wombwell, of Nostell, 1372-1385, improved and extended the coal-workings already existing.
In 1623 and 1625, Mr. Jackson is mentioned. Canon Raine, in Vol. VI. of the Journal says that *' he was ordained deacon at Bishopthorpe, on the last day of Feburary, 1612-13, beins: then A.B. On December 19th he was ordained priest and licensed to the curacy of Hackness. He is pro- bably the Timothy Jackson, A.M., who printed an exposi- tion in quarto of St. Paul's Second Epistle to the Thessa-

lonians, wliich is mentioned by Thoresby, and occurs in- Watt's Bibliotheca." In 1622, Mr Jackson gives the follow- ing inflated account of the baptism of his child : ^' Johannes Jacksonus Alius Timothei Jacksoni et ^nna) uxoris ejus, natus erat Maii quinto, baptizatus autem maii decimo nono, cujus compatres erant Dominus Johannes Jacksonus junior de Hikkleton, miles, Thomas Stringer de Sliarlston,generosu8; commater autem Domina Gratia Saltonstall de Huntwicke ; fcemina piissima, ab antiquis et virtute prseditis majoribus piognata. Ita tester ego Timotheus Jacksonus predicti Johannis pater et ecclesiae Wragbiensis Pastor." Mr. Jack- son, who was of strong Puritan tendencies, liere describes himself as " pastor." At this time there was also a Mr. John Atkinson, whose name first occurs as '* clericus " in 1617, while in 1625 he signs the churchwardens' accounts, in which Mr. Jackson's name is mentioned as "curatus;" in 1631 he calls himself '* vicarius et ludiraagister/' and in 1637 and 1647, when he died, he is called "minister.'' Which was the lawful incumbent ?
III. The Accounts of the Overseers of the Highways.
These present nothing of interest. They relate chiefly to the laying of causeways and the repair of the bridge over the little river Went. They show that the Overseers needed frequent refreshment at the expense of the parish, that there was a sewer and a bridge at the Black Butts, which are no Jonger in existence, and that some persons neglected to mend their ways according to contract, for in 1631 a charge of sixpence is made " for a warrant for those that refused to do their day works."

By the late SIR STEPHEN GLYNNE, Bart.»
Feb. I7thy 1825.— We left Hawarden and proceeded per coach to Manchester, where we arrived at 6 o'clock after a journey which could not be called pleasant. Arrived at the Star Inn, which in every article but that of beds was tolerable.
Feb. 18th. — Walked about the town, which is very large, the streets mostly alike, and none of any great breadth, so that it is most easy to miss the way. A new Town Hall is building, the front of w^hich is a very magnificent Ionic facade. We went into the Collegiate Church, which is certainly a very fine building, although some tasteless repairs have been made on the exterior. It is wholly of late Per- pendicular, and consists of four aisles divided from each other by pointed arches springing from slender clustered columns. It is divided by the organ screen into two parts, that to the West is fitted up handsomely with pews and galleries, that to the East is the Choir in which the Cathedral service is performed. In it are some beautiful carved stalls with rich canopies.
Near the Collegiate Church is an old building of about Henry 8th, which is called the College, and in which was founded in 1651, by Humphrey Chetham, a gentleman of

The Society is indebted to the kindness of tho late Mr. W. H. Gladstone for permission to use his uncle's MSS. The descriptions are remarkably correct, and place on record many things which have unhappily d'.sappeared. When a subsequent visit li:<s been made to the same church, the remarks follow those made the first time with the date.

Lancashire, a school for 40 poor children. The number has since been raised to 80, from the several townships of ]\Ianchester, Salford, Bolton, Crompsall, Droylesden and Turton ; so many from each township according to their population. In the same building is a large and valuable Library of 18,000 volumes left by the founder, and to which the inhabitants of the town have free access.
At 1 1 o^Iock we got into the mail for York. The day was beautiful, so that the wild country beyond Rochdale appeared to advantage. About four miles beyond Rochdale is a high hill called Blackstone Edge, which we had to ascend. The scenery around it is of the wildest description, but certainly very grand. The country is very mountainous, the hills are covered with heath, and few trees are to be seen. It somewhat resembles the mountain scenery near Rhayader in Radnorshire. Blackstone Edge forms the boundary between the counties of Lancaster and York* The country from thence to Halifax is n<aturally wild and grand, but now thickly inhabited and disfigured by factories. Halifax is a large disagreeable town, with narrow street^ and houses mostly of a dingy coloured stone. From thence to Bradford the country is hilly but less romantic and equally disfigured by factories, &c., &c. Bradford is a large town very much resembling Halifax. I was shocked to see here, as well as in many other places in the neighbourhood, new churches built of very good stone, but in the most depraved taste, being very faulty and inelegant attempts at imitation of Gothic architecture. Between Bradford and Leeds the country is flat, but much enlivened towards Leeds by the river Aire, on whose banks are some pretty woods, and the very beautiful and picturesque remains of Kirkstall Abbey form a fine feature on the opposite bank. Leeds is a very considerable town and contains a few good streets. From thence we went through Tadcaster to York over flat country containing nothing at all remarkable. From York we pro- ceeded to Escrick.
Feb. 21.— Went to York. Walked about the Cathedral of which I will speak fully hereafter. The ruins of St. Mary's Abbey are a very beautiful E. E. specimen.
St. Mary's Abbey is more properly of decorated style, being extremely rich luui ele<j^ant, and possessing niany of the ornaments which adorn the nave of York Minster. It is ho^Yever now (ipith regret be it said)

reduced to a ruin on a small scale from the frequent dilapidations which it has experienced, a great portion of the stone having been taken to repair Beverley Minster, and the neighbouring church of St. Olave.
Holy Trinity, Micklegate.
We walked on the antient city walls on the Micklegate side of the river, which are in a very ruinous state. We then repaired to the church of Trinity in Micklegate, which from its antique appearance seemed to promise some curiosity within. But its interior disappointed all expecta- tions. It formerly belonged to a priory, and is only a part of a larger structure, as is evident from the rows of pointed arches springing from octagon pillars which run on each side of the nave, but are stopped up by the church walls. The tower is low, and at the N. W. angle of the nave. The belfry window is Norman. The North doorway is E. E. The church seems also to have extended further to the East, as there appears at the East end of the present Church the remains of large columns which probably supported a central tower.
July, 1846. — Holy Trinity, Micklegate, is part of the Priory Church, and chiefly E. E. There are four E. E. arches seen built each into the wall, having laige octagonal capitals. The tower stands at the W. of the destroyed N. aisle and is built of ancient materials. Some good E. E. arcades are built into it, and a Norman belfry window, divided by a central shaft. (1867.) On its W. side are tiers of E. E. arcades, and an E. E. buttress, apparently one a part of the original W. front.
St. Martin, Micklegate.
St. Martin's Church in Micklegate consists of a nave and side aisles and chancel. The nave is divided from the aisles by pointed arches springing from circular pillars; the chancel is also divided from the aisles by pointed arches, but the piers are octagon. The windows are mostly Perpendicular, but some are Decorated, and nearly all adorned with fine stained glass. The altar piece is Corinthian, and conceals the East window. In the nave is an old black-letter in- scription on a flat stone, but now nearly illegible from time. In the North aisle is the following black-letter iti^CYVgUow —

Externally this church would look well, were it not dis- figured by its odious brick tower. The buttresses between each window are surmounted by elegantly wrought water- spouts.
July, 1846. — The nave and Chancel are nearly of equal length, and there is a Chancel arch springing straight from the wall. The nave is somewhat short, and has on each side an arcade of two E. E. arches, rising from circular columns with nail heads in the capitals. The Clerestory has small square-headed windows. The Chancel has on each side two pointed arches with octagonal columns. The aisles of the nave are divided from those of the Chancel by pointed arches. On the north side is a doorway of transition from Norman to E. E. with nail heads in the hood. Near the South door internally is a stoup. The Chancel has four windows on each side, set closely of 3rd and Perpendicular. That at tlie E. of the N. aisle is of 4th and Perpendicular, at the E. end of the South aisle Decorated and with very fine stained glass. There are several windows of Perpendicular character, and some Decorated, with much rich stained glass, especially that at the West of the N. aisle is a part now enclosed for vestry in which appears the legend of St. Martin. One ancient window has been removed to make way for a wretched performance by Peckitt ! The roof is high pitched externally and tiled, and the Clerestory bidden by the aisle roof. The South side has externally a good parapet and large gurgoyles on the buttresses ; also the Chancel. The Tower is of brick. There is an organ.
St. John's Church
"Was the next object. It is a small structure of no pre- possessing appeaiance externally. It consists of a nave divided from side aisles by rows of octagon pillars from which spring pointed arches. At the West end is a mean brick turret with a tiled roof. The windows are obtusely painted and wide, accordingly of very late Perpendicular. Those at the end of the aisles are beautifully adorned ^ith

painted glass. That over the altar is a sad specimen of modern taste. Near the altar is an altar tomb of Perpen- dicular work but without inscription. The South doorway has slendei* columns with foliated Capitals — probably early Decorated. Without that door are two old slabs with figures on them but so much mutilated that it is impossible to ascertain what figures they might have been.
1846. — St. Johns Church has no distinguished Chancel. The steeple is engaged at the West end, and opens to the aisles by two plain low pointed arches. Beyoiid it, the arcade on each side has three pointed arches, springing from plain octagonal piers without Capitals. Those on the S. are the loftiest, and the Eastern are widest. The East wall of this Church is not at right angles with those on the N. and S., a circumstance not very unfrequent in town churches. The East window is wretched. Most of the windows are Third Pointed with three lights and flat arches, those at the E. of the aisles of four lights. In the E. window of the N. aisle is some very fine stained glass, with the Trinity and Saints and a legend commemorating the donor. In the East pier on the S. side is a square headed opening divided by a muUion. The E. window of the S. aisle has also very fine stained glass with canopies and a legend. An organ has been added.
All Saints Church.
In North Street is a spacious and elegant structure con- sisting of a nave, side aisles, and Chancel with an octagon tower of Perpendicular work to the West, from which rises a slender stone spire. The nave is divided from the aisles on each side by pointed arches springing from round pillars. The windows are mostly Decorated and resplendent with most rich painted glass. That over the altar is of particu- larly elegant tracery. Some of the windows however are in square frames, probably Perpendicular. The ceiling in the Chancel is very elegant, being of wood and divided into pannels and supported by elegantly carved brackets mostly representing human figures, angels, &c., &c. In the South aisle is the following black-letter inscription on the floor : —
** ®rate pro aia %tici)artrt tftillins^olme Siloiianne et M^timtt tnanta'm tim.''

There are several other black-letter inscriptions in various parts of the Church. The tower rests on pointed arches springing from plain piers.
1867. — All Saints has more of first Perpendicular work than most of the York churches. The nave and Chancel have both aisles which are continued to the East end with three gables, but there is no Chancel arch within. The steeple occupies the Western bay, being engaged with the aisles and opens internally by three pointed arches^ of which tlie N. and S, are low, the Eastern lofty. The upper part is octagonal and Perpendicular, supporting a neat stone spire.
The arcades are E. E. and each consist of six arches, three high ones in the nave and three lower in the Chancel.
The walls lean outwards. In the nave the pillars are alternately circular and octagonal and very light, the Capitals are moulded and one has nail heads. In the Chancel the arches are plainer and differ in size and form, which injures the effect. The piers on the S. are octagonal, with square overhanging Capitals which are not elegant. On the N. one pillar is circular. There are some good M. pointed windows and several Perpendicular with square heads, and they are richer than those of any other church in fine stained glass, of which though much remains, much has unhappily perished. The E. window of three lights and M. pointed has been restored. It contains a legend ** ®ratr pro aiabm Jlirtt Ijlacfiiiurnc snt. quonliam ma(ort0 cibttatts ipljor rt fHarjjarftiT uxoxi^ riui5.'' The three last windows are particularly sj)lendid in glass. In the North aisle of the Chancel is the celebrated "I3ede" window, andanother,theglass of which commemorates six works of mercy. In the East wall is a pointed recess, three foiled on E. E. shafts. Near it an KB.

There is an inclination in the Chancel walls. The Font an octagonal bowl on cylindrical stem. The Chancel is considerable, its roof is a fine one, coved and pannelled with moulded ribs, bosses and angel brackets. In the aisles of the Chancel the roofs are some- what similar. The East window represents the Virgin with S. Peter and S. Christopher. The stained glass of several windows is in fine condition and of rare excellence. On the N. occurs in one a scroll inscribed ** Sancta (ttecilia ora pro nofiw.'' The Church is well restored and is fitted in H. C. fashion. The Chancel stalled.
Selby Abbey.
February 25th. — "We rode to Selby in order to examine its highly curious and venerable Church. This is a very spacious and noble structure, said to be 299 ft. in length, built in the Cathedral form, and certainly surpassing many Cathedrals both in size and in richness of architecture.

Few structures are more highly deserving of minute examina- tion, from the variety of architecture which it exhibits in its several parts. It consists of a nave with side aisles, a north transept which has an aisle or chapel to the E. A choir with side aisles, and a spacious room on the South of the choir, now a vestry, with another over it now used as a school-room. In the centre rises a square tower supported on large semicircular arches. The upper part of the tower is of modern erection and not in a style agreeing with the rest of the building. The antient tower, the lower part of which still remains, was evidently of Norman work and is said to have been much higlier than its present unworthy

. representative. It unfortunately fell down in 1690 and destroyed the South transept. The general external appear- ance of this noble church is truly grand and imposing, and it is much to be regretted that the great central tower should have fallen, as the present one is certainly the greatest eye- sore in the exterior of the church. The East front is perhaps the most imposing part in the external view. The great East window perhaps is one of the finest in England ; it is of great height and displays a variety of elegantly ramified mullions. It contains a quantity of painted glass but not of great brilliancy. The East end is adorned with several lofty hexagonal pinnacles richly ornamented with crockets. The battlement or rather parapet which runs round the whole of the choir is somewhat singular, being pierced in the following manner,' and being adorned with a wavy line and trefoils.
The West FronL—ThQ fa9ade of the West front is hand- some and a mixture of Norman and E. E. ; the latter pre- ponderates, and is seen to advantage from being open to the street and not crowded by buildings. The centre doorway is a very noble Norman specimen ; it consists of five bands of mouldings, some of which are chevron-wise ; another has the herring-bone moulding, another the network ; beneath them are slender shafts with Norman Capitals. Immediately above the doorway is a range of arches with trefoil heads resting on slender shafts with Norman Capitals. The window in the centre consists of three lights ; the centre one is filled up with Perpendicular tracery which looks much out of place, and the two side lights are stopped up. These are ornamented with slender shafts knotted.^ This West front was once obviously intended to be flanked by two towers, as may be seen from the arches within which would have supported them. Their places are now occupied by tall spiral pinnacles, which, though good of their period, are much out of place. The upper windows on the North and South sides are very good E. E. They consist of two smaller lij^hts divided by a slender knotted shaft and con- tained within a large and very richly moulded arch. The

lower window on the North side is semicircular and Norman, that on the South is square and Perpendicular. The buttresses are flat and evidently Norman.
The Nave. — It is impossible not to be very much struck on entering at the West door by the massive grandeur and length as well as the height of the nave. It is separated from its aisles on either side by a row of semicircular arches, but the piers from which they spring vary very much in form, though those opposite to each other are mostly alike. The first arch from the West end on either side is narrow and simple, and springs from a plain pier with three shafts with rude capitals set in square recesses at its extremity. This pier is divided by long ribs^ running down it, and from the shafts on the other side of it springs the second arch which is not so simple, having several ranges of mould- ing, but without any decoration. The two next arches spring from circular pillars round which are set slender shafts in a circle and all quite separate from each other. The next arch springs from a plain pier with clustered half- columns at its extremities. The next arch springs from a massive circular column and is richly moulded with the chevron moulding. The next is adorned with zigzag mould- ing, and also springs from a substantial circular pillar. Above these arches on either side is a Triforium or Galler^^ above which is the Clerestory. The triforium over the two Eastern arches on either side is formed by a bold semi- circular arch ornamented with fine zigzag mouldings, and resting on shafts, within which arch are two smaller springing from a central shaft with a plain Capital. The triforium over the remaining arches on the South side is a beautiful E. E. specimen. It is formed by a wide and slightly pointed arch deeply moulded and springing from slender clustered columns with elegant foliated Capitals, within which are two smaller pointed arches also deeply moulded and springing from slender clustered columns in the centre, a 1 richly foliated. Between these two arches is a small circle con- taining a pierced trefoil. The Clerestory is composed of an obtuse pointed arch resting on slender shafts, within which is a small window of the same form. The triforium on the North side resembles for the most part that on the South,
3 The ccutre rib runs up entirely to the roof of the church.
826 NOTES ON YORKSHIRE CHURCHES.
except that some of the wide pointed arches are completely open and do not contain smaller arches as those on the S. The Clerestory on this side is semicircular.
The ceiling of the nave is of wood and pannellcd elegantly. That on the North aisle is of stone and groined with sub- stantial cross ribs. The roof of the South aisle is open to rafters from the E. end as far as the last arch but one west- ward, where it begins to be vaulted with stone as the North aisle, but it has never been finished. • At the West end of each aisle is a small space divided off from the aisle by a semicircular arch springing from plain piers, whence it seems probable that there was originally a tower on each side of the West front, springing from these arches. Beneath the second arch of the nave on the N. side is the font, the canopy of which is of beautiful carved wood.* There is (on the North side of the nave) an old mutilated recumbent figure of a Knight in armour bearing a shield charged with a bend between six hatchets. Beneath the next arch is the figure of a lady recumbent under a canopy ; she bears two shields, one charged with three fleur-de-lis, the other with a bend between six martlets. The windows in the aisles are chiefly of Decorated tracery. One however at the West end of the N. aisle has a round head.
Transept. — The South transept was unfortunately destroyed by the fall of the antient central tower. The North Tran- sept is divided from the N. aisle of the nave by an elegant pointed arch, evidently E. E. On the South it is bounded b^^ the large semicircular arch supporting the tower. On its Eastern side is an aisle or chapel which has Perpendicular windows, from which it is separated by E. E. arches. The Clerestory is Decorated, but the great North window has elegant Perpendicular tracery.
The great Eastern arch of the tower is filled up, as are also the arches from transepts to the aisles of the choir, in order to make the choir a more convenient place for divine service, which is performed only in it.
The Choir. — On entering by the glass door now inserted

in the wall with which the arch of the tower is filled, the choir, with its magnificent East window and elegantly wrought decorations, appears to great advantage, especially when contrasted with the comparatively simple grandeur of the nave. This elegant choir is however much disfigured by the awkward pews and galleries with which it is filled. The whole of it is of Decorated character, and very •much resembling the nave of York Minster. The choir is divided from its aisles on either side by a row of pointed arches springing from clustered columns ananged in the form of a lozenge, and ornamented with the most delicate foliated Capitals, in which the oak and vine leaves form a feature. On each main column or pier and above the spring of each arch is an exceedingly rich canopy highly wrought with crockets and finials, below whidh probably once stood images. From the finials spring slender pilasters, ending in foliated Capitals, from which again springs the fan-work of the roof in stone ; the roof however is completed in wood very elegantly carved and decorated. There is no triforium, but there runs a gallery round the choir formed in the thickness of the wall, which opens into the bevelled sides of all the Clerestory windows by means of arches cut in those sides. It is con- tinued along the base of the Clerestor}^, where it is protected by an open work parapet exactly similar to that which runs along the top of the choir and transept externally. The Clerestory consists entirely of Decorated windows of elegant tracery. The East window is very large and probably one of the most beautiful in England. The tracery is most delicate and bears some resemblance to the West window of Exeter Cathedral. The painted glass which it contains is much injured and broken, but still has a good eflFect. The side aisles have roofs most elegantly groined with stone, which yet are simple in their workmanship, and have elegant foliated bosses: The ribs of the roof are continued down the side wall in clusters of elegant slender columns with foliated Capitals, which form a very delicate addition to the richness of this part of the edifice. The ^Yindows are filled with fine Decorated tracery, and ai*e ornamented with slender shafts. On either side of each window is a graceful narrow arch considerably lower than the window, and resting on slender columns in clusters, with Capitals of most beautiful foUated work. Below the windows is a range of ^m^W

pointed arches,* some of which are trefoiled ; these extend the whole length of each aisle.
The altar is not at the extremity of the church, there being a space of about twelve feet between the altar and the East end. The altar piece is of carved oak, probably of the 16th century, and is ornamented with gilt stars, roses and other ornaments peculiar to that age.^ On the South side of the altar are three very rich canopied stalls of Perpen- dicular work, being adorned with buttresses with canopied niches, and rich fan-work ceiling within. Behind them are small windows, also Perpendicular, of this form, and very rich arch-work, apparently Decorated.
In the choir on an altar tomb is the remnant of an effigy, but so much mutilated that nothing can be made out con- cerning it. Within the altar rails are two curious old inscriptions on flat stones, in black letter. On one fiat stone is the figure of an Abbot, and the following inscription, 1526, in an extended form : —
"jFato lufiifero jacet fiic trtlure SJoJanneg JBompnujei ISartoicujei oprre baltie bonus m^ Uni^ anni^ paieitor lautiabtle tnnttisi ^rorbuit eatmplum m penetratque polum, qui obiit ti. taV ^prilijei anno JBomtni iBB'^xxW. cuju0 aninnr propitietur Mtm.''
On another slab is a figure of an Abbot, and this inscription : —

Upon the vf]iole there are few structures that have such a claim to be minutely examined and engraved as Selby Church, and it is to be feared that from its situation it is not sufficiently known of^ much less visited.
RiccALL Church.
Riccall Church, five miles from Selby, is chiefly remarkable for its singularly beautiful doorway of Norman workmanship. It contains four ranges of mouldings springing from shafts with Capitals ornamented with various figures, twisted ribbons, &c. The outside moulding contains various flowers ; the next, heads of animals with tongues or beaks projecting. The two next exhibit a variety of animals and grotesque figures. The Church of Riccall consists of a nave with side aisles, a Chancel, and low tower at the West end ; which has a Norman belfry window. The nave has a Clerestory and is embattled ; the Chancel is tiled. The windows of the nave and Clerestory are mostly with square tops and Per- pendicular. The East window was formerly of elegant Decorated tracery, but now nearly stopped up entirely. The Chancel is very sombre and damp. On its North side is a four-centred arch now stopped up, which probably once divided the Chancel from a Chapel. Within the altar rails is an antient tomb to one Langton, and a piscina with nail- head moulding. A window on the N. side is of simple tracery and pointed, and contains some good painted glass. The nave is divided from its aisles on each side by three arches, slightly pointed, two of which spring from circular pillars, one from an octagon.

where its great merits cannot be duly appreciated, as it is in the immediate vicinity of the Cathedral whose superior and highly wrought beauties eclipse those of a building other- wise possessing no small share of elegance. The whole is of exceedingly late Perpendicular work : it consists of a nave with a North and South aisle. The nave is divided from each aisle by a low of Tudor arches springing from the usual Perpendicular piers. Between each arch is a pannel contain- ing a quatrefoil. The windows are mostly of the Tudor form and contain rich painted glass. Those of the Clere- story are square. The altar piece is very large and obscures in a great measure the richly coloured East window. It is of very handsome Corinthian design, and has great merit, although at variance with the architecture of the church. The ceiling is of elegant pannel work. At the West end is a spacious gallery and organ. The Monuments in the church are not of high antiquity ; there is one large one at the Eastern extremity of the South aisle, and many others of recent date. The great fault in the church is the want of a steeple, there being only a small stone turret at the West end. Under the windows externally runs an elegant panneled moulding containing lozenges enclosing shields. The aisles extend to the East end, with no distinction of Chancel. The stained glass in the windows is of very great beauty and in some windows tolerably perfect.
1844. — This church has no separate Chancel. On each side an arcade of six Tudor arches, with light piers of the usual Perpendicular sort with square-headed Clerestory windows. The East and West windows are each of five lights. Most of the others of four. The East window has very rich stained glass with figures of St. Michael and other Saints under canopies. The Southern windows also exhibit beautiful glass, with saintly figures. Under the windows externally is a pannelled band.
St. Helen's Church
Is situate in St. Helen's Square, and is a small neat structure consisting of a nave and side aisles with a small octagon tower of Perpendicular date raised over the West end. The church within is very neatly pewed but contains little remarkable except the font, which is probably Norman. It is large and circular, cup-shaped, and is embossed or

moulded with an arcade of Norman character with shafts. The arches which divide the tiave from its aisles are pointed and spring from octagon piers. The windows are mostly in square frames and contain three lights. Tliose at the Eastern extremity of the aisles are of very early Decorated work and very simple of their kind, but have been barbarously repaired. Near the altar is a monument to two sisters named Barbara and Elizabeth Davyes, who each lived in seven reigns, and each completed her 98th year. Many of the windows are adorned with painted glass. At the West end is a gallery and organ.
July, 1 846. — St. Helen's has no distinction of Chancel. On each side are four pointed arches, of which those on the North are loftiest. The piers are octagonal without Capitals, the arches on the South springing from a corbel in front of the pier ; on the North from grotesque corbels attached to the sides of the pier. The arch mouldings differ ; the S. E. arch is very wide. The Eastern pier on the N. hasa Capital. The ceiling cuts the East window, which is of four lights, with shafts on the mouldings. The windows at the E. of the aisles are very early M. Pd. of three lights, without foils. Other windows are square-headed with something of M. Pointed character. Many contain good fragments of stained glass. Some however are mutilated. There is an ugly modern skylight and a pulpit bestriding the body. The font has an octagonal plinth below the stem, and at the angles four knobs or balls. Over the arcade on the bowl is an antique ornamental cornice. The columns of the arcade have square Capitals.
St. Martin's Church
Is situate on the West side of Coney Street, and is externally a very elegant structure. It consists of a lofty body with a Clerestory and side aisles, each of which is divided from the nave by six pointed arches with continuous mouldings down the piers, and no Capitals. The piers ai-e octagonal. The tower stands at the West end of the S. aisle, so that a complete light is gained from East to West ; it has elegant open battlements and pinnacles. The windows are all good Perpendicular. Those at the East and West are of verv noble form and dimensions. That to the We^it
333 NOTES ON YORKSHIRE CHURCHES.
is completely filled with painted glass, the subjects of which ai-e tolerably perfect. The Clerestory windows are of large size and also richly adorned with painted glass. The pulpit- cloth is very elegant and curious. The ceiling is pannelled. The church is exceedingly light and elegant throughout, and entirely of Perpendicular work. The buttresses are adorned with curious waterspouts representing heads, &c., and pinnacles were intended.
This is another instance of a complete and unmixed Per- pendicular church. It is late in the style, has no Chancel, the aisles and Clerestory being continued to the end, and the Clerestory part is large in proportion to the main arches, which look rather low. The interior is certainly elegant, though ill pewed. An organ has been introduced lately (1842) and is placed in the N. aisle, not interfering with the fine West window. The tower has an open battlement and crocketed pinnacles. The West window is a very fine one of five lights, but is not quite in the centre. The glass it contains is very fine and in fair preservation, representing the legend of St. Martin. There are no windows on the N. aisle. The Clerestory windows are very large, of four lights, and contain some stained glass.
We next proceed to Walmffate Ward, which contains six parish churches.
St. Michael's Church, Spurriergate,
Is situate at the corner of Spurriergate and Low Ousegate, and is a neat structure, having lately been thoroughly repaired. A part of the East end has been removed in order to widen the street, which was before incommoded by it projecting into it. The church now consists of three aisles divided by pointed arches springing from light clustered columns, and owing to the taking down of the East end is now nearly of equal length and breadth. The East wall is entirely new, and contains some new windows exceedingly well executed and of good Perpendicular design. In the nave is an old mutilated inscription bearing the date 1502. The church has a very pleasing and neat appearance owing to its recent repairs. At the West end is a gallery and organ. The tower is plain and embattled.
This cliurch is now nearl}' square, and part has evidently
NOTES ON YORKSHIRE CHURCHES. 333
been destroyed and the original windows restored in the new East wall. The arcades have each three pointed arches, and one half cue. The columns are of four clustered shafts with square abaci in the caps and a singular character of sculpture which looks E. E., but doubtful.
St. Mary's, Castlegate,
Is a spacious structure, consisting of a nave, chancel, and side aisles. The nave is very wide, with an octagon tower at the West end from which rises a lofty stone spire of sub- stantial proportions. The S. aisle very narrow. The exterior of the church is much worn by time and has a ragged and dirty appearance. The tower has large Per- pendicular belfry windows. The nave is divided from the aisles by pointed arches, mostly springing from circular columns, of which those on the N. side have Norman Capitals, and of those on the South, one is octagon, and another has the toothed moulding. The two arches of the nave towards the tower are very wide, and that to the North semicircular. The Chancel is divided from the nave and from its aisles by pointed arches. The tower also rests on pointed arches. The windows of this church are mostly of a bad period, having mostly horizontal transoms. One however on the North side is square and has good tracery nearly approaching to Decorated. The East window has remains of painted glass. The church contains several vestiges of brasses, especially one in the nave, which seems to have represented three large figures. There is an old inscription in letter of the 13th century. '' Willain Fox gist icy. Deus de sa alme en eyt mercy. ArnenJ"^ At the West end of the church beneath the window of the North aisle, externally, is a range of three small trefoil •'irches, which seem very singular. The font a plain octa- gon, with iron work on the cover. The Western arch of the nave is widest. There is a very fine old altar cloth of stamped leather.
Juhjy 1846. — St. Mary's, Castlegate, is a large and interest- ing church. The plan includes a nave and Chancel, with aisles

reaching along part of the latter, and a tower engaged in the West end, surmounted by an octagon, upon which rises a strong spire of stone, the arrangement not unlike that of All Saints. One remarkable feature is the very decided inclination of the Chancel towards the N. The South door is E. E. The lower part of the tower is square, and internally has three pointed arches open to the nave and aisles. The steeple seems wholly Perpendicular, has a Perpendicular window on the West of 5th, and a small one on the S. side, where the aisle does not fill up quite to the W. of the tower. The octagonal part has long 3 belfry windows, and buttresses on the alternate sides. The aisles are embattled, and pinnacles crown the buttresses. The windows are mostly square-headed, with transoms, and late Perpendicular; some contain good pieces of stained glass. There is a shallow S. ))orch with window over it. The nave is free from galleries. There is on each side of it an arcade of three arches of E. E. character. Those on the N. have circular columns with square abaci, the scalloped having a Northern look.
The church restored in excellent style, and the best arrangement by the Dean of York, 1870. The S. arches have two circular slender columns and one octa- gonal, the Capitals toothed. There is a Chancel arch with octagon piers. The Chancel has on the S. two pointed arches, one very wide, one ogee with finial. On the N. there are three arches. There is one Decorated window in the N. aisle of the Chancel, square and of four lights. The Chancel has on each side a pannelled altar tomb inserted within the arches, the N. arch being ogee and Decorated. Between the S. aisles of the nave and Chancel is a narrow pointed arch. In the E. part of the S. aisle are brackets with angel figures bearing shields ; in the N. a curious piece of wood sculpture of the Virgin. There are few wood stalls. Part of the altar stone remains with the cross.
St. Margaret's Church
Stands in a lane behind the houses in Walmgate, and is a plain neat structure consisting of a nave and North aisle separated by pointed arches springing from octagon pillars ; the tower is at the West end and is mostly built of brick. Tiie windows are mostly in square frames, but that to the
ifOTES ON YORKSHIRE CHURCHES. 385
East is extremely elegant Decorated. The church internally is very neat, but contains nothing remarkable. The glory of the church is its porch, which may in truth be called one of the great ornaments of the town. This is of very rich Norman work, consisting of six mouldings in all (including that of the doorway). The first range of moulding repre- sents the signs of the zodiac, together with emblems of the various months of the year. The second range contains a number of scrolls, &c. The third is composed of grotesque heads. The two next represent various strange devices ; the last, several heads. The porch is crowned with a small crucifix.
July, 1846. — The fine Norman porch seems to have been removed from elsewhere. The arcade has four fine pointed arches with octagonal piers having no capitals. There is no distinction of Chancei, the N. aisle extending to the East end. The East window is good, showing M. Pointed of three lights, the other windows Th.ird Pointed with flat arches. At the East end are two brackets.
St. Dennis's Church.
This church stands in Walmgate, and from the fall of its spire, which destroyed a great portion of the West end, now exhibits a strange appearance, being greater in breadth than in length. The present church consists of three aisles divided by pointed arches. The windows are mostly Decorated ; that at the East end of the North aisle is of par- ticularly beautiful tracery. The great East window is Per- pendicular, and most of the windows are adorned with rich painted glass. The tower is at present low and heavy, and springs from pointed arches ; West of the tower are remains of Norman piers and capitals, which seem to indicate that the Western portion of the church was of more ancient date. On the South side is a beautiful Norman doorway in excellent preservation, consisting of five ranges of moulding. The first is composed of rude foliage, heads, &c. ; the second of heads of animals with beaks or tongues ; the third of chevron moulding ; the fourth of various figures ; the fifth of pierced lozenges. There are no shafts, but there are capitals foliated in the Norman style. There are several remains of brasses, &c., now gone.
836 KOTES ON YORKSHIRE CHURCHES,
Juhjy 1846. — St. Dennis was undergoing a thorough reno- vation, but the old walls were to be saved. The present edifice is only the Chancel and aisles of the original, and the tower, which must have been once in the centre. The East window of five lights. That E. of the N. aisle, also of five lights, is beautiful flowing M. Pointed. The side windows also M. Pointed of three lights.
St. Crux Church
Is a handsome and spacious structure situated at the corner of the Pavement and CoUiergate, consisting of a nave, side aisles and Chancel, with a lofty hrick tower at the South-west angle. The nave is spacious and lofty, and is divided from the aisles by Tudor arches springing from the common Perpendicular piers. The whole of the church is of late Perpendicular but of good design. The nave has a Clerestory, and the East window is of fine dimensions. The Chancel contains some of the ancient stalls. The altar* piece large and Corinthian. At the East end of the South aisle is a large heavy monument of Italian work. The ceiling is of pannelled work. At the West end are some modern windows of very bad modern taste.
An organ is now introduced. (1867.)
St. Crux has no distinction of Chancel. The West end seems to have gone to decay, and a brick tower replaces the original. The arcades go quite to the E. end. The piers have mouldings carried down and no capitals. Beneath the E. window are indications of three doorways which must have led to a low chapel or sacristy ; all the arches are pointed. The Clerestory goes to the end and has large three-light windows, and the other windows are large and good.
All Hallows' Church.
In the Pavement, co?isists of three aisles, divided by pointed arches rising from octagon pillars with a Clerestory of square windows above. The roof is pannelled. The windows mostly plain Decorated. The greater part of the Chancel has been taken down in order to make the market- place more capacious. At the West end is a gallery and
NOTES ON YORKSHIRE CHURCHES. 337
large organ. The chief beauty of the church is its elegant steeple, which is of an octangular form and exceedingly light and airy from the windows (of which there is one on each of the eight sides of the tower), being open and without glass. The whole of the tower is of good Perpendicular and crowned with elegant pinnacles.
We next proceed to Monk Ward, which contains five parish churches.
St. Saviour's Church.
1825. — Stands in the street called St. Saviourgate, and is a neat structure consisting of a nave and side aisles divided by octagon pillars supporting pointed arches. The East window is of good Perpendicular and filled with very excellent painted glass. Most of the^other windows are Perpendicular, excepting those at the Eastern extremities of the aisles, which are of handsome Decorated work. At the West end is a handsome organ. The tower is also at the West end and is surmounted by a vane.
1846. — St. Saviour's, like many others of the York churches, lias no distinction of Chancel. The arcades are of five pointed arches, all lai'ge and wide, and somewhat stilted, except the Western, which is small and low. The pillars octagonal with capitals. The roofs are open. At the Enst of the aisles are M. Pointed windows of three lights with fair stained glass. There is also some in the East window of the Chancel which is Third Pointed. The tower arch is open and its W. window is Third Pointed with a transom. There is an alms dish on the altar.
Christ Church
. Is an indifferent and mean structure standing at the end of CoUiergate, and projecting most inconveniently into the Haymarket, so as to render the corner very dangerous, and indeed many accidents have been thereby caused. The church is small and in bad condition. It consists of three short aisles divided by wide pointed arches springing from octagon piers. The tower is at the West end and is supported on pointed arches. The windows are of various descriptions : some are of plain Decorated work, and otl\^\>Sk

Perpendicular in square frames. Another on the North side is in a square frame, but of elegant Decorated tracery. There are traces on the North side of a chapel having formerly existed there, two arches appearing in the wall. In the North aisle on a slab is a brass plate with the following inscription :
'' il^tc facet C^omajs; Ksriie mercer nuper ntator cibitatto <Sbor pi obiit u° trie meuje; april anno tnii xa? cccc jrlir et '^lim tat rtiw que obiit ... trie tnenjei . . . a? tint m^'cccc • • . qm aiabuis picietvr B^. amen/'
This seems to have been inscribed in the lifetime of the wife, there being no traces of the day, month or year being filled up. There are many other old inscriptions, but not of any great curiosity.
1846. — The plan of this church is curious, the walls not being at right angles, and some of the Western portion seem to have been demolished. The present church is probably only the Chancel and tower of the original, and is therefore short, though wide. The walls are all crooked. The tower occupies the Western part, opening to the aisles and Chancel by three pointed arches, be3'ond which is the Chancel, divided from each aisle by two wide and rather clumsy pointed arches, not similar, but springing from octagon pillars without capitals, the arch mouldings dying into the pier. The responds have foliated capitals or corbels. Over the arches is a small Clerestory of square-headed windows. The E. arch of the tower is Perpendicular, tall and pointed. The East window is square-headed and Per- pendicular, that E. of the N. aisle of five lights, E. of the S. aisle of three lidits and Decorated. The windows are generally mutilated. The aisles are very narrow. The Eastern arch of the arcades is narrow. There is good wood carving on the churchwardens' seat. The tower has six bells. The font a plain octagon.
1871. — The churcli has been fairly restored and put into good condition, having been menaced with destruction.
St. Samp}non's Church.
1825. — Stands in a remote part behind the houses on the West of Colliergate and near the Thursday Market^ in a

dirty and bad part of the town. The church is indifferent externally, nor does it contain any object of curiosity within. It consists of three aisles, divided by octagon pillars and pointed arches. The East window is Decorated, the rest chiefly Perpendicular. The tower is at the West end.
1846. — The arcades have each five pointed arches of very low spring, on octagonal piers with capitals. There is no division of Chancel, or anything to mark it, but a more elegant roof, which is open and good. There are two Decorated windows at the East end, the rest chiefly late Perpendicular, with transoms. There is an organ. The church in very bad repair. The tower is engaged in the West end, and the walls lean outwards. Restored neatly in 1848.
Holt Trinity, Goodramgatb.
Has low pitched roofs, tiled, and stands on the North side of Groodramgate. It is a neat and respectable structure, consisting of three aisles and a chancel with a tower at the West end resting on pointed arches rising from clustered columns. The nave is divided from its side aisles by wide pointed arches resting on octagon pillars. There is also a chapel on the South side of the church, divided from the South aisle by a wide pointed arch. The windows in the chapel are square and display elegant Decorated tracery, and are filled with fine painted glass. The windows are some Decorated and some Perpendicular; that to the* West is good Perpendicular. The East is of six lights, and has magnificent painted glass representing Holy Trinity, St. George and St. Christopher. Many of the other windows are excellent Decorated. At the East end of the South aisle is a brass plate thus inscribed : " Orate pro aiahs Thome Dauby quondam maioins civitatis Ebor. qui obiit primo die Mari a^ dhi m^'ccclviii et Matilde uxoris eiits que obiit iiii" die Januani a'' did i)f cccclxiii quor"^ alabus ppicietur De*. Ameiu' The font an octagonal cup.
1846. — The Chancel is as usual undivided from the nave. The tower engaged. The aisles continued to the end, and on each side beyond the tower an arcade of four pointed arches. On the South are light octangular columns and the Eastern arch on this side is more elaborate than the others in its

mouldings. The two Western arches on the S. are very acute and the mouldings carried down the pier. On the North, the arches have a lower spring and the mouldings are continued down two piers without capitals. The Eastern pier is very slender, and octangular, with a foliated capital. This irregularity of arcades is common in York. On the South is added a chapel, opening by a large wide arch. This chapel has had an altar, and contains a squint and a piscina, and a square niche with three-foiled feathering. In the E. respond on the North is a small ogee three-foiled recess. The East window, though ordinary Third Pointed about 1480, has glorious stained glass. The two East windows of the aisles are Thiid Pointed and contain rich glass. The other windows are mostly with square heads and of M. Pointed character. There is a merchant's mark on a slab, and under one of the South windows internally a double square recess. The walls are not at right angles, but very crooked. The tower stands on three fine arches with clustered piers and interlacing moulding. The W. windows of five lights.
St. Cuthbert's Church
Is situate in a remote part of the town in Peaseholm Green. It consists of a single broad aisle with an elegant though low and small tower at the West end crowned with crocketed pinnacles and adorned with handsomely wrought gurgoyles. The ceiling is pannelled and the windows all of Perpendicular character. The fitting up of the church is none of the tidiest. Near the door is a piscina. There is the following inscription on a brass plate in black letters with the day, month, and year not filled up :
'' Cerate pio icliaf)!^ SSiillmi Ijotocjei iscnior quon ntatom cibitato (irbot : qui obiit . . . Iiir mtnm . . . a" trni im rccc . . . et isabrUr um qe obiit ni iie mcs §\ilii a" iiniir cere jrxjrb" qm a!a&u0 ppinrtut Bii. amen.**
The tower has neither buttress nor W. door ; the belfry window is square-beaded. The windows are chiefly square- headed, except that at the W. of the tower, and that at the E. end, which is singularly not set in the middle. Tho K wall is marked by a hideous reredos. The parapets ai'c

moulded. There is a modern S. porch and a priests' door also on the S. There is some stained glass. The S. door has some rather nice woodwork.
Besides these, York contains three churches in the suburbs or outskirts, beyond the Bars — St. Glare's, MarygatCy beyond Bootham Bar ; St. Maurice^ beyond Monk Bar, and St. Laim^ence, beyond Wahngate Bar.
St. Lawrence's Church
Stands just without Walmgate Bar on the Hull Road, and is a neat, small structure consisting of a single aisle, with square tower at the West end with elegant, pierced battle- ments, which contain quatrefoils, also elegantly pierced. At each angle is a crocketed pinnacle. The North door of this church is very beautiful Norman work. It consists of four ranges of adorned mouldings, mostly representing grotesque figures, and supported on shafts. At the extremity of each range of moulding is a head. The South door is also of Norman work, but more simple. The Chancel has Decorated windows, and that to the East is very elegant. It contains monumental inscriptions to the Yarboroughs.
On the churchyard wall are slabs, with mutilated figures on them, which are now suffering from the ravages of time and weather, and which deserve a better place. The church has a very neat appearance. The font has an octagon bowl pannelled, the stem ogee, pannelled, and a modern gothic cover.
St. Maurice's Church
In Monkgate, without Monk Bar, is a small structure, consisting of two aisles divided by wide pointed arches springing from rude octagon piers. At the West end is a wooden belfry. The church contains not a single object of curiosity. The windows are mostly square-headed ; that to the East is Decorated. The belfry has two bells. Nave and undivided Chancel, with parallel S. aisle not extendinor quite to the W. The arcade has three arches. The two Western wide and clumsy. The Eastern lower, and still more clumsy — the piei-8 octagonal, rude and without capitals. The Chancel
3i2 NOTES ON YORKSHIRE CHURCHES.
is lower than the nave. The S. door has three chamfered orders, witli corbelled hood. The W. end of the nave is early, and has a Norman window of two liglits with a shaft and circle over it, beneath a semicircular arch. Above it in the gable is another single Norman window. On the S. side of the W. end beyond the aisle is a First Pointed lancet The E. window is of Third and M. Pointed, the other windows Third Pointed, some square-headed. The roof is plain, with tie beams. The walls lean outward, and the church is much out of repair and meanly fitted up. The stone is much worn.
St. Olave, Marygate,
Stands near the ruins of St. Mary's Abbey without Bootham Bar. It is a very neat structure, consisting of a nave and side aisles, which are divided by five pointed arches springing from lofty columns, some of which are octagon, and some circular. The tower is at the West end and is not embattled, but is crowned by pinnacles. The windows are all with very flat and late aiches, and contain good late Perpendicular tracery. The North side externally is elegant and built of good stone. The buttresses end in elegant crocketed pinnacles, and over the door on the North side is an extremely elegant niche surmounted by a rich canopy, with pannelled ceiling within. The venerable ruins of the Abbey form the South boundary to the churchyard.
St. Mary, Bishophill, the Elder.
This church stands in the part called Bishophill to the S. E. of Micklegate Bar. It is in a churchyard finely planted with trees, which have a pleasing effect. It consists of a nave. Chancel and North aisle, with a low tower of brick containing five bells at the N.W. angle. The nave is divided from the N. aisle by three semicircular arches springing from round pillars. The Chancel is divided from the aisle by pointed arches springing from octagon pillars. The windows on the North side arc of very elegant but early Decorated, consisting of two lights with a circle between them filled up with a cinquefoil. The other windows are various. The East is Perpendicular, those on the South are
NOTES OX YORKSHIRE CHURCHES. 343
some of them square and Perpendicular. Another is within an arch almost flat and supported by shafts with fohated capitals. On the Chancel externally are buttresses with foliated capitals.
St. Mary, Bishophill, the Younger
Is more spacious than the latter, and consists of a nave with side aisles, and a Chancel with North aisle. At the West end is a strong massive tower, divided from the church by a semicircular arch, which has a genuine Norman belfry window, and is crowned by eight crocketed pinnacles. The nave is separated from the North aisle by three wide semi- circular arches, resting on round pillars, and from the South aisle by arches of a singular description, being sharply pointed and without any curvature, deeply moulded and rising from slender circular pillars. These may probably be of Early English date. The Chancel is divided from the North aisle by two wide pointed arches springing from a slender octagon column with a square capital. The East window of the Chancel is of singular but very elegant Decorated tracery and contains fragments of painted glass. That at the E. end of the South aisle is also simple Decorated. Those of the North aisle are in square frames and Perpen- dicular. On the South of the Chancel are some long narrow and lancet. Many of them contain fragments of painted glass. In the South aisle are some ancient black-letter in- scriptions but much mutilated. One runs thus : —

By CH ARISES CLEMENT HODGES, AmcHiTEcr.
M£DL£VAL chroniclers and historians are not often Teiy precise as to the information they give us regarding the rise and progress of the great churches which were a special product of their times. In the case of by far the greater number of the monastic houses, all we know of their build- ings, from a historical point of view, is the bare fact, of tbe date of the foundation of the convent ; consequently it is to the remains of the buildings themselves that we must look for any information as to the period and manner of their erection. It sometimes happens, rather provokingly, that where there are but scanty remains of buildings there is a more or less complete record of them preserved, and where the buildings are extensive, or comparatively entire, there is no record of their erection of any moment. Selby is an instance of the latter, and two other abbeys at no great distance from it, Meaux, in Holderness, and Thornton, on the Humber, are instances of the former class. To a certain extent these records of destroyed monasteries can be made use offer elucidating those which remain in a more complete state, but are deficient in recorded history.
Selby Abbey appears to have been founded in 1069-* Benedict the anchorite, and the first abbot, is said to have erected an oratory, or chapel of wood, and to have suhaa* quently added domestic offices to it, also of wood. This oratory appears to have been the first church in Selby of any sort, for the " Historia '* says it was in the same place where to this time the chapel of the town remains standing.' Subsequently it is again mentioned, in the record of a flood,

was contemplated, as there are grounds for supposing was originally intended at Durham. The internal length of the church was 220 feet ; the length of the transept 111 feet; the width of the nave to the aisle walls 59 feet ; and the height from the floor to the wall-head 51 feet. These dimensions show that the Norman church was one of the third magni- tude (i.e., having a length of less than 300 feet). Still it ranked high amongst the churches of its day, and had the original design been carried out it would have been as fine a model of architectural completeness as the Romanesque style could produce.
The plans that may, in a general way, be compared with Selby are Hereford, Chichester, Southwell, Romsey, Gloucester, Worcester, and Lindisfarne, in England ; Llan- dafl*, in Wales ; and Jedburgh, in Scotland. The complete Norman plan of all these churches is known, their main points of resemblance to Selby being the aisleless eastern apse, with a great and ornate sanctuary arch opening to it, as existing at Hereford and Llandaff, and indicated at Jed* burgh ; and the apsidal eastern chapels to transepts, which occur at Southwell/^ Romsey, Tewkesbury, Chichester, Gloucester, Norwich, and Lindisfarne. It seems clear that the choir aisles ended as shown on the accompanying plan, apsidal inside and square outside, as they were at Peter- borough and Winchester, and still are at Romsey. It is also probable that the apse was flanked by two stair turrets with tall spires, such as still remain at Peterborough. In the setting out of the nave, the alternate arrangement of circular columns, and compound piers carrying vaulting shafts, was adopted. Space does not admit of our going into the whole question of the design and development of the Romanesque and Gothic church plans, it will be enough to say that amongst our Norman churches there are two distinct types : those with continuous lines of circular columns all of one size and form, as Gloucester, Tewkesbury and Southwell, and those where circular columns and great clustered piers alternate with each other, as at Selby, AValtham, and Durham. Between these extremes are various less clearly defined types. It is evident that in the

one class a stone vault was not intended to be used, but in the other the very motive of the design was tlie supporting of a great vault. The prototypes of the two classes were the long avenues of classical columns in the early Christian basilicas in the one case, and the widely-spanned domed churches of Byzantium in the other. It is interesting to observe how these two original forms become modified as they travel westward and give rise to the numerous and generally beautiful phases of Romanesque architecture which western Europe was at this time developing.
As to the exact period of Abbot Hugh's rule that the work was begun we have no information, and the building itself, so far as his work remains, is the only guide to its date. We are told that he laid the foundations of the church and the domestic buildings, and that he completed the greater part of the church and the buildings round it. The chapter-house is mentioned as being in use during his abbacy, so it may fairly be included among the buildings he erected. It. is evident from the recorded accounts that Hugh pressed the work on with all speed, and as he docs not appear to have been hampered by lack of funds, and, also, as he did not complete the church before he resigned his office, we may conclude that it was not begun before about the year 1110, the thirteen years ensuing to the time of his resignation allowing ample time for building what can be assigned to the time of his abbacy.
We are fortunate in possessing, in the c<athedral of Durham, a church built on similar lines to Abbot Hugh's church, though on a much greater scale, of the erection of which a sufficiently detailed record has been preserved in the writings of Symeon to guide us in assigning a date to the Norman work at Selby. Durham Cathedral was begun by William of St. Carileph in August, 1093, and at the time of his death in January, 1096, the choir and a part of the transepts were in a more or less complete state. Carileph's successor, Flambard, between 1099 and 1128, finished the nave up to the vault. The earhest work in the nave at Selby shows in some of its details a slight advance on that in the nave at Durham ; it is therefore but reasonable to infer that it was building at the same time or immediately afterwards. The year 1123 is the last in which we can place any of Abbot Hugh's work at Selby, and 1128 the
THE ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY OP SELBY ABBEY. 340
last in which we Ccaii place any of Flambard's in the nave at Durham. The comparison, therefore, compels us to conclude that Flambard's work in the Durham nave was brought to a completion some years before his death, and that Abbot Hugh's work at Selby is a little later in date, as it distinctly is in character. In any case there are the strongest grounds for supposing that Flambard and Hugh employed the same architect. Apart from the parallelism of the two plans, and the occurrence of the double spiral moulding on the circular columns in the same relative position in both the naves, there are also two details used in the same manner in both cases which ars of such extreme rarity as to render it almost ceitain that we see the work of the same man in both places. These details are a projecting band, or string-course, of characteristic Norman section, which is carried along the walls just above the plinths, and also round the bases of both columns and compound piers ; and the use, in the hollow of the base mouldings to the columns and piers, of an ornamented band, such as a cable, a row of lozenges, or of lozenge-shaped reticulations, as the case may be. At Durham neither of these details occurs in Carileph's work. The string-course above the plinth first appears in the north and south walls of the transept and in the bases of the line of columns and piers on the east side of the transept, and including the eastern piei^s of the central tower. The orna- ments in the bases first appear in the nave, after the two eastern bases have been passed. At Selby the band above the plinth occurs only inside the church, in the bases of the tower piers, inside the transept, along the south aisle wall to within a few feet of the west wall, and in the north aisle to the extent of nearly two bays and a half from the east end. It does not occur on any of the bases in the nave. It may be said to mark the extent of Abbot Hugh's building. The minor ornaments in the bases do not occur in the tower piers, but are found in all the Norman bases in the nave.
It seems clear that Abbot Hugh built the whole of the eastern arm, the transept, the tower to the top of the first stage above the ridges of the roofs, as high as where the Norman work is vet to be seen at the north-west angle, and the first arch on the south of the nave. He also carried up the walls of the nave aisles, on the north side, to a distance of rather more than two bays west of the transept, but on

the south side for cilmost the whole length of the nave. This was done to enclose the cloister from the then open ground on the north, and to prevent any but legitimate access to the monastic buildings; as ^Yell as to prevent tlie meditations of the monks, as far as possible, from being disturbed by tlie building operations that were going on in the nave.
The remains of Hugh's church are of a somewhat frag- mentary nature, but enough still exists for us to realise in imagination what it was, or was intended to be, when finished. The choir has entirely gone, and the unfortunate destruction of the south transept has robbed us of what was, in all probability, the most interesting portion of his building, from an aichaeological, if not from an architectural, point of view. Of this transept nothing now remains aboTC ground except the northern jamb of the arch which opened to the apsidal chapel on its eastern side. This jamb has two engaged shafts with simple cushion capitals, of much plainer character than any of those in the church, showing that the work was more elaborately detailed as it proceeded west- ward. The tower piers present plain wall surfaces on their inner sides, but have responds of clustered shafts towards the nave and transepts, from which the arcades and the aiches opening to the nave caisles spring. The nortli transept still retains a large part of the original Norman worL The eastern apsidal chapel was removed when the new choir was connected with the older work, and the whole of the lower portion of the east wall has been so altered that little of the original work is visible. The north wall has also been com- pletely transformed by the insertion of a large Perpendicular window, so that tlie Norman masonry only appears beneath its sill and at its sides. The western wall,*^ however, still remains to a large extent in its original state, and is on the whole the most interesting portion of Abbot Hugh's work left. Its exterior face presents two arched recesses, one of Avhich contains the only Norman window left in the whole church, and which probably represents the form of all the oiiginal windows of the ground story. This window retires within the arched recess nearest to the nave. Its hood mould is the continuation of an embattled string-course
12 Coucher Book of Selby, Vol. I., PUte IL
THE ARCHITECTURAL HISTOIiY OF SELBY ABBEY. 851
ijvhich runs along the west wall and is carried over it. This same string-course seems to have been continued all round, as it is interrupted by the later insertions. In the north- west angle is a newel stair, the loop lights to which are seen, one above another, in the pilaster buttress which strengthens the angle. The Norman clerestory of this transept has been so changed by later work that but little of the original masonry remains in situ. The later builders thinned the wall, by setting back its outer face and inserting larger windows in the spaces between the buttresses. On the east side, and near the north-east angle, the northern portion of one of the Norman clerestory arcade arches remains. This seems to show that the design of the clerestory was an arcade of three arches in each bay, the centre one pierced to form a, window. The portions of the arch that remain are part of a plain square architrave and jamb. There are no indications of nook shafts or any elaborate details. The height of the Norman walls is indicated by a small piece of the original corbel table in the angle of the north transept and nave. This shows that the old walls were several feet lower than the later ones, which were raised to give more room for, and to add greater dignity to the clerestory.
Of the four piers carryipg the central tower, but one remains in an unaltered condition, that at the south-west angle. The south-eastern pier was entirely rebuilt after the fall of the old Norman tower, but the same stones were re-used, so that it does not greatly differ in appearance from the others. The north-eastern pier underwent considerable change when the new choir warS joined up to the older work to the west of it, while the north-western one has been modified by the addition of a later respond on its north face. The unaltered pier shows that they all four consisted of what may be described as considerable sections of the main wall used to carry the tower, rather than of piers composed of clusters of shafts, as was usually the case. The inner faces, looking north and south, are flush with the inner surface of the main walls, and the eastern and western arches, or rather their soffit orders, are carried on a short pier projected out upon corbels at the level of the triforium string-course, while the outer orders of the same arches die into the walls above the level of the spring of the triforium arch^. The northern and southern arches are very much

less in span than tlie other two, and rise from the capitals of nook shafts which have their origin in the main bases. This peculiar difference in the treatment of tlie two pairs of crossing arches was adopted to give the clear width of the nave under the eastern and western arches, in order that the choir stalls might be placed against a flat wall surface : the choir, as was usual in the Norman churches, having been formed beneath the crossing and extending, perhaps, a short distance west of it. The corbels beneath the eastern and \vestern arches are interesting examples of the grotesque heads so usually found in the Norman work of the better kind.
The small portion of the old tower that remains shows that it was of no great elevation, and that it was provided with two wall passages, one above the other, in the first stage, I.e., the stage between the crowns of the arches sup- porting it and the ridges of the roofs. The lowest of these passages has its floor level on the line of a chamfered string- course, three courses above the crowns of the arches. It was lighted from within the tower by means of four openings on each face. Two of these are of large size, with recessed arches, semicircular jamb shafts and scolloped capitals. Between these and the angles are two small openings, per- fectly plain but, singularly enough, having triangular heads cut out of one stone. The purpose of these is evidently to afford some borrowed light to the wall passage where it turns the angles. A little higher up, the other wall passage is reached. It is of the same width, but of gi'eater height than that below it, and is lighted from without by two windows in each face. These are placed so near the angles tliat in their upper parts they come above the slope of the orimnal roofs. Their architectural treatment is similar to that of the larger openings below, and the detail of the capitals in the jambs shows that Abbot Hugh's work was carried up to this point. In the next stage of the tower only a small portion of the north-west angle is original ; it is the one in which the newel stair was carried up in a sliglit projection, with nook shafts in the angle against the tower wall. The four corners of the tower were also reeded with eng;iged nook shafts.
Abbot Hugh's work extended into the nave, but it appears that, with the exception of the aisle walls, it proceeded but a

very short distance west of the crossing. The first arch on the south side and tlie ornamented column heyond it may be assigned to tin's period, as well as a single bny of tlie triforium, and a mere fragment of the wall ahove against the tower, but no portion of the clerestory arcade. On tlie north side is to be seen a similar small piece of Norman masonry against the angle of the tower, carrying but three corbels, of the old corbel table, and the parapet above it ; showing that the first Norman work just cleared the tower, and only enough was built west of it to carry out the levels and form some abutment to the crossing arches. On the north side, the pier itself seems to have been relied upon for this purpose, as the arch next the crossing belongs to the second section of the work. Of the aisle walls, as far as they belong to the Norman work of the first period, there is little to be said. The projecting band, mentioned before, is carried along inside the walls as far as they were built at this time. In the second bay from the east in the south aisle is a built-up Norman doorway, which was supplanted by the later one in the eastern bay. The repairs of the wall have obliterated the external traces of this doorway. In the seventh bay from the east in the same wall is a curious blind arcade of four members, with small semicircular heads worked out of single stones. There are appearances of openings here, but they are confused. Similar small round- headed openings may bo seen in the early work under the Common Room in Durham Castle and in the west end of Yarm Church. Externally there are no Norman features in the south isle wall, but on the north side is a single Norman buttress, and the corbel table in the two eastern bays, with the parapet above, are of the same date.
The details of Abbot Hugh's work as seen in the nave are of a slightly more advanced character than those in the nave at Durham. The capital of the ornamented pier is circular instead of octagonal, and the ornament on the pier, which at Durham is formed by a semicircular groove, is Iiere a sunk reed, or semicircular moulding, worked out of the surface of the column. Tlie chevron ornament, too, is a lictle more elaborate and refined in character than at Durham, and the carving of the capitals points towards the coming changes in the stjle. There can be little doubt that the year of
354 THE ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY OF BELBt ABBEY.
Hugh's resignation (1123) was the year which marks the end of the first section of the Norman work.
The pause made before another section was undertaken could not have been a long one, for the completion of two bays on either side of the nave as high as the clerestory string-course seems, to judge from the details, to have soon followed. The same design was carried on, no doubt under the same architect, and a little more ornament was intro- duced. The pier arches have two rows of chevrons in the mouldings. The capitals are richer and more delicately carved. The triforium has a main arch and two sub-arches in each bay. In the tympanum the stones are all square and laid lozenge-wise. There are two engaged shafts in each jamb, and the sub-arches are carried by a short circular column, all with carved and scolloped capitals. A settle- ment of the foundations of the piers of the tower having occurred, and possibly some disturbance, owing to the thiiist westward of the arches ; the sub-arches of the eastern bay on each side were taken out and the main arch built up, a small arch, similar to one of the sub-arches, being built in. The capitals of the inner jamb shafts are embedded in the walls filling the arches. The vault over the two eastern bays of the south aisle is of this period ; it is quadripartite, with heavy moulded transverse and diagonal ribs, and is the only piece of Norman vaulting in the church.
It may be inferred that a temporary wall was now built across the nave at the first clustered pier from the east, and a temporary roof put on at the level of the clerestory string- course.
Whether the recorded characters of the abbots succeeding Hugh prevented the work being carried on with any degree of speed, or if there was a lack of funds, or if the convent kept one or two masons dressing stones and building alternately, so as to make some little progress, cannot well be decided. There is some confusion in the details at this point which seems to make the last possibility the most likely one of the three, for we find a late capital on an early base, and Norman chevron mouldings along with plain ones of Transitional character in the same arch. In any case the third and fourth bays on either side of the nave, in a more or less complete state, followed, and formed a third section

to a pear-shaped section, and the capitals of the clustered piers are elegant groups of volutic leaves, by means of which the eye is gently carried from the circular form of the shaft to the sharp angles of the square abacus. The two windows in the north aisle wall, to the west of the porch, and that at the west end of the aisle, are round-headed and are the only windows of the Transitional period left in the church. The north porch is arcaded both inside and out. on the front as well as on the sides, with rows of pointed arches on detached shafts which have carved volute capitals. It has a quadripartite vault, above which is a dark chamber entered from the triforium. Between the bases in the three western bays of the nave a raised bench table is provided, an unusual feature, the use of which is not clear. It is of rare occurrence, and in the north of England is found only in the ruined choir of Tynemouth Priory, in work of similar date to this portion of tlie nave.
The west froijt, including the lower stages of the intended western towers, was built before the nave was carried up to its full height. It is a fine composition, the round arch being used throughout in the lower stage, as the pointed arch is throughout in the upper stage. In the centre is the great western doorway, with a succession of five detached jamb shafts with volute capitals, and a fine suite of orna- mented mouldings of five orders and a hood. Above is an arcade of nine trefoiled arches on detached shafts, with volute capitals ; the arches are studded with balls. Above this arcade is a triplet of lancet arches on detached shafts, banded in two places. The side arches are blank, but there are two trefoil-shaped piercings within (?h-cles in each. The centre opening contained windows, in all probability of the same form as the unaltered ones in the flanking towers. The gable above is modern, having been built in 1873. It looks like a piece of Salisbury Cathedral transplanted to Yorkshire, and its only merit may be said to be in the fact tliat it is utterly unlike anything that can have been there before. Broad pilaster buttresses, which are not graduated, ilank the centre divi.sion, and the re-entering angles are niarked by nook shafts. Similar buttresses face both wajs

at the outer angles of the towers, which mask the ends of the aisles. The window at the west end of the north aisle is original, and has a semicircular arch and detached shafts in the jambs. The corresponding one to the south is a modem copy of the other, to make way for which a two- light, square-headed Perpendicular window was destroyed when the nave was " restored.'' In the stages of the towers which are above the aisle roofs are double lancet windows under a large containing arch, with groups of detached shafts. From the capitals of the centre group a short shaft rises and supports sculptured figures, now much decayed. On the north and south faces are similar coupled lancets, and on the east faces single lancets with acute heads.
The next section of the work, carried out at no great length of time after the west front had been built, but in the Early English style, was the addition of the six western bays of the triforium on the south side, and the clerestory for the whole length on the same side. The Norman levels of the different stories were maintained, except that on the exterior the corbel table was placed one course higher than that of the Norman period, short lengths of which latter are to be seen on both sides of the nave clerestory, close to the central tower. The design of the Early English triforium on the south side is a very grand one. It harmonises well with that of the Norman bays, and is a great improvement on that of the Transitional period opposite to it. It was neces- sary that in designing the clerestory as much light space as possible should be provided, the nave being dark, and^ the windows of the south aisle had necessarily to be small, as they had to be placied above the cloister roof. The architect adopted a bold and clever method of meeting the require- ments of the case. He divided each bay of the clerestory into two, giving a window to each sub-division, thus making a continuous range of fifteen windows, there being none in the western half of the west bay. A vaulting shaft is carried up between each of the windows, and thus each alternate shaft rises past the centre of the triforium arch, cutting it in two. The result is a composition of great complication and beauty when seen in perspective, the richly moulded main and sub-arches of the triforium seeming to retire behind a long range of shafts, which add greatly to the dignity and apparent loftiness of the ua\^.
358 THE ABCHITECTURAL HISTORY OP SBLBY ABBBT.
There are five bays of the triforium treated in this manner ; that at the west end, differing from the others to some extent, and liaving no dividing shaft, looks flat and naked in comparison with them. The dog-tooth flower is introduced into the triforium iu each alternate jamb with excellent effect. In the clerestory is a wall passage, the inner arches of which are simply chamfered, but the jambs have detached shafts with moulded capitals and bases.
On the north side the clerestory is differently managed There is but one window to each bay. There is a wall passage, and the inner wall face is treated as an arcade of three members repeated in each bay, the centre opening being opposite the windows. The arcade is carried on clustered shafts, four of which form each isolated pier, and three being used in each jamb, which is further ornamented with the dogtooth flower. The spandrils have pointed trefoil sinkings. Vaulting shafts divide the bays and rise to the coinice, where they are terminated by bold capitals of considerable projection.
When the work just described had been finished the church was complete, with the exception of the upper portions of its three towers. Those flanking the west front were never carried up, and it had been well if the central tower had never received its third stage.
By this time a full century had elapsed since Abbot Hugh had begun his new church, or even since he had resigned his office in 1123, and for another fifty years afterwards no change, of which we have any knowledge, was made in the fabric. But in a wealthy foundation like Selby, it was not to be expected that the monks would always be content with their old Norman choir, with its straitened dimensions, its small apse, and its plain, and now antique details, which looked rough by the side of the more delicate carving in the nave. The same rivalry which had prompted Abbot Hugh to have as fine a church as his neighboui-s induced the monks of the succeeding century to contemplate the rebuilding of its eastern arm in the more ornate style of their day. Among the whole of the great Benedictine churches in the country, not one has retained its old Norman choir unaltered,'** and it is to the surviving Cistercian choirs,
'^ The least change in plan wan made at Norwich^ ..nd the least in intenial
THE ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY OP SELBY ABBEY. 359
such as Furness and Kirkstall, that we must look in order to realise how great was the contrast between the dark and gloomy Norman interiors and the light and beautiful eflfects produced by the middle and later Gothic styles.
No record has been traced which gives the slightest clue as to when the new work of the choir was begun. The only means of arriving at its date are a close comparison of the design and details of the various portions with similar works, the date of which is known with some degree of certainty. These are, St. Mary's Abbey, York, the new church of which was begun in 1270 and finished in 1292^*; the eastern chapels, lady chapel, and parts of the choir of Exeter Cathedral, begun by Bishop Bronescomb before 1280, and continued under Bishop Quivil (1281—1292) *« ; the nave of York Minster, begun in 1291 *^ ; the new choir of Howden Collegiate Church, begun about 1272*®; the extension of the choir of Ripon Collegiate Church between 1280 and 1297*^; the new choir of Guisborough Priory Church, begun in 1297^^ ; and the Angel choir of Lincoln Minster, completed in 1280.^*
These seven architectural landmarks are ample for our purpose. It would be tedious to describe each one minutely, and, as all are well known, it will be sufficient to say that the result of the comparison is that the first section of the new choir was begun about the year 1280, and that in all probability the design was prepared by the same architect who had been employed by the Abbot of St. Mary's York.^ There is great similarity between the two designs, as far as we can now read them. That of St. Mary's Abbey was carried out in its entirety, but has been so nearly destroyed that many of its features are now unknown. The earliest representation of it is a plate in the first edition of the Monasticon, showing the nave arcades and the tri- forium standing. The clerestory had then gone and there

is nothing to tell us what it was like. The first design for the new choir at Selby was only executed in part, and what it was we shall never know, but there can be no doubt that it did not omit the triforiuin stage ^ as the later modification of the design did. That the original architect's intention with regard to the triforium and clerestory were never realised is much to bo regretted.
The new work was begun by setting out the axis of the choir at a distance of two and a half feet to the north of that of the old church. This greater width was all thrown to the north side that the south wall could be on the same line as the old work when a junction was effected, and so any unnecessary disturbance of the monastic buildings which were south of the church, would be avoided.
The first section of the new choir included the north aisle wall to the extent of the five eastern bays, with the but- tresses, the two buttresses at the north-east angle, and, perhaps, four bays of the main arcade, or at any rate the columns, with their capitals, and probably some portion of the wall beneath the sills of the windows in the south aisle. The old choir was not touched while all this was done, as all the new work belonging to the first section was clear to the east of it. It is also apparent from the masonry and jointing that the east end between the great buttresses was left open to serve as a cartroad into the site.
The design of the aisles consists of a wall arcade beneath the windows, with cusped arches and detached shafts having carved capitals of natural foliage and flowers. Beneath the arcade is a bench table. The baj^s are separated by triple vaulting shafts, all fiUetted, with carved capitals. The w\ill space above the arcade is treated as a triple arcade, in the centre of which the window is placed in a richly moulded arch springing from moulded jambs with carved capitals. The windows are of three lights, all being alike. The tracery consists of three circles, each containing a quatrefoil.
-•* In 12S0 the triforium was still regarded as an essential part of a Gothic design of the first class. There is a single bay left at St. Mary's Abbey, that of the nave of Bridlington Piiory is complete, and the choir of old St. Paul's possessed one of great beauty. These three, the " At»gel " choir at Lincoln, and the nave at Lichfield, are all that are
known of the Geometrical period. There is but a single exani|le of the Curvilinear period, that of the choir al Ely, which owes its existence to the accident of cironnstauces. When the choir of Selby came to be completed the triforium had gone out of fashion. The clerestory wall passage in some measure tnkes its place.
THB ARCHITECTUKAL HISTORY OF SELBY ABBEY. 863
It is of two orders and richly moulded, and both jambs an4 mullions have carved capitals both inside and outside. The vault is quadripartite, with both longitudinal and transverse ridge ribs, wall ribs, and carved bosses. Externally the detail is concentrated on the windows. The wall is plain, as are the buttresses. The base course moulding is bold and effective. The cornice, parapet and piimacles to the buttresses belong to a later section of the work. The main arcade is of fine design and of elegant proportions. The capitals are exceedingly beautiful, and are more* conven- tional in their treatment than those of the wall arcade and windows. The designs are mainly founded on the foliage of the oak and the vine. A characteristic feature of the arcade, which that of St. Mary's Abbey at York had in common with it, is the range of brackets for bearing statues, just over the capitals of the columns. Above, in the spandrils of the arches, are richly carved canopies with crocketted spires for the protection of the statues.^* From the spires the vaulting shafts for supporting the main vault spring. None of the statues remain at Selby, and it is doubtful if they were ever added. At York a number were found in 1823, and are now preserved in the museum of antiquities there.
Contemporary with the first section of the new work in the choir are the five inserted windows in the north aisle of the nave. They are of a totally different character, how- ever, the former being the rich work of a wealthy monastery, the latter the much simpler and plainer work usually found in parish churches. These windows are all alike, of three lights, with three quatrefoils in the head. The tracery is of one order, without mouldings. The jambs and arches have plain continuous chamfers, there are no shafts ; and the only carvings are the hood mould terminations outside, and small bunches of foliage inside in the case of the eastern window. The general design of the tracery is identical with that of the aisles of the nave of York Minster and the aisles of the choir at Howden, and very similar to that in the nave aisles at Hedon.

was added to this aisle. The intended Norman vault was never carried out, but the vaulting shafts, ^rhich resemble internal buttresses, were provided and were used to carry the later vault. This is quadripartite, with plaiu ribs, having hollow chamfers at the angles. The vault on the six western bays of the south aisle is a modern copy of this one ; the Norman vault appears never to have been carried out, for the springeis that remained to guide its reconstruc- tion in 1873 indicated that it was of the fourteenth century, except in the two eastern bays, as described above.
We now come to the question of the stone used in the building and its origin. The earlier work is executed in a magnesian limestone, probably from the Huddlestone quarries, or from that neighbourhood. In 1291 the Abbot and Convent obtained a charter entitled "Carta de Quarera"* from the Prior of Marton, in the foiest of Galtres, granting ihem permission to work three acres of a quarry in Theves- dale, near Tadcaster, between the quarry of the Abbot and Convent of Thornton and that of the Prior and Convent of Urax. We know from other sources that Thornton Abbey was then building, and also that the stone for York Minster came from the same quarry, as did that for Howden Church. It was, therefore, a valuable property, and it is not sur- prising to find that an acre of it was worth at that time six marks to sell.^^
This charter shows that the stone for the new work came from the Tadcaster (juarries, and as it is used in the Decorated work first erected, which cannot be later than (\ 12S0, it follows that the charter does not date the beginning of the new work, but shows that work of great extent was then going on or in contemplation.
The eighteenth abbot was the former William de Aslakeby ; he was elected in 1280 and died in 1293. He was a man of strong character and great energy, and ruled the house wisely, especially (\s to its temporal affairs. In his time ic was in receipt of a very large revenue. There is, thereforv, no difficulty in placing the period of the new work in the abbacy uf Aslakeby, especially as he is known to have been fond of building, and to have erected a chapel on the Abbey Grange at Stainer in 1286.^^

- It was probably about 1291 that th(3 second section of the work in the new choir was begun. This included the lower story of the sacristy building and the two bays of the south aisle adjoining, along with two or more of the piers in the great arcade on the same side. The two bays between the sacristy and the south transept were destroyed by the fall of the tower. We have, therefore, no kno\Yledge of their character, but in all probability they belonged to the third section of the work.^® Before the year 1290 the somewhat severe formality of the tracery of the earlier portion of the Geometrical period had been relaxed, and the simple circles containing trefoils or quatrefoils, which had been almost the only units in the earlier designs, were varied by the introduction of a number of modified forms of the same figures, such as the spherical square, the spherical triangle,'^ the pointed quatrefoil and trefoil. A further complication of the tracery is effected by using two arches ill the side lights of different radii, one above another. This latter principle, along with the acutely pointed trefoil, occurs in the two blind windows against the sacristy wall. They can, therefore, with safety be placed between 1290 and 1300.
The sacristy is entered from the south aisle by a double doorway, arranged as a portion of the wall arcade. Though this building is of two periods, it will be convenient to describe it as a whole. The lower sacristy is vaulted in stone, in two square bays, with moulded ribs, having ridge ribs both ways, and wall ribs. There is a bench table all round. There are two windows in the south wall and one at the east end, all of three lights and of similar and simple tracery. The vaulting springs from rich clusters of triple shafts, with carved capitals. The bases of these shafts stand on the bench table. There are no traces of the original furniture of the sacristy, but the east window contains much old glass. In the south wall, and opposite the doorway, are 8ome curious features. Under the westernmost window are three small arched recesses, fourteen inches deep and fifteen

inches wide, sunk into the wall and beneath them a pro- jecting ledge. West of these is a lavatory, which has been supplied by a small cistern placed in the recess behind it.*^ In the south-west angle of the building is a newel stair, which is contained in an octagonal projecting turret rising above the roof in the form of a lantern, or open pinnacle, crowned with a crocketted spire. This stair is for the purpose of affording communication with the upper sacristy^ and to the roof. It had originally no doorway from outside ; the one lately existing was modern. Like the lower room, it has three windows, but of two lights only, and of much later date than those below. At the west end of the room is a fireplace, much modernised, but marking the position of an ancient one. In the west gable is a chimney formed to resemble the gabled pinnacles which crown the buttresses. The springers of the vault and the wall ribs remain, but the vault was in all probability never added, or it may have been destroyed in modern times. Externally in the west wall is a long roundheaded window blocked up, and in the east gable is a roundheaded slit above the level of the vault.
Very nearly at the same time that the sacristy was added, the old Norman windows in the south aisle of the nave were taken out and larger ones inserted. These are of three lights, with late Geometrical tracery of an elegant form. They are six in number, there being none in the two western bays. The third from the west, and the east one, over the eastern processional door, are more elaborately treated than the others, by having roll mouldings added to the mullions and tracery, and more richly moulded outer arclies. The remainder have chamfered mullions, arches, and jambs, but all have small carved capitals of natural foliage at the springing level. The cornice above these windows appears to be of contemporary date. The design of tlie tracery is exactly the same as that of a three-light window in the east end of the chantry of Sir Aymer de Athol in St. Andrew's Church, Newxastle-upon-Tyne. The two processional doors are also insertions of this time ; they have continuous mouldings of plain character, and are without any distinctive features. A few of the hook corbels

-U'Jie beginninj; of the fourteenth century found the new choir in a very incomplete state. Even the aisle walls had not been carried up to their full height, and the new build- ing was in such a condition that no part of it could be made use of except the lower sacristy.
The political events of the time seriously interfered with the progress of the work. Edward J. was the reigning sovereign, and the second William de Aslaghb}^ the twen- tieth from Benedict, was abbot. The war with Scotland was going on, and the sudden death of Edward on Solway Moss, as he was taking his army across the border, was a terrible mis- fortune, and seems to have paralysed the efforts of his followeis. His son, Edward II. succeeded, probably the weakest monarch England ever had. His vacillating polic}^ resulted in the crushing defeat of Bannockburn, followed by continual in- cursions of the Scots, who overran the northern counties, doing immense damage by burning and pillaging wherever they went. In 1320 occurred the disastrous battle of Myton, a place on the Swale, where the army of Archbishop Melton met with the Scots, who defeated them with great loss. It is said that three hundred ecclesiastics perished in this fight, which was called the " white battle," from the number of monks engaged in the conflict. The abbot of Selby escaped through being mounted on a swift horse. The impoverish- ment that followed caused a drain on the resources of thd country, and we find many of the wealthier abbeys con- tributing large sums to help to replenish the royal exchequer. In the time of the next abbot, Simon de Scardeburgh (the twenty-first), we find that Selby Abbey contributed two hundred and forty marks in one year.^^ Besides these pay- ments in money, the abbot was called upon to find men to aid in the wars. These he had to equip, and if these charges are added to the amount of reduction in value of the estates through the damage done by the marauders, it is easily seen how serious must have been the embarrassment caused by the falling off in the revenues, even to a rich abbey like Selby.

S68 THE ARCHITECTURAL HISTOUY OF 8KLBY ABBBY.
. This is the true explanation of the long pause made in the building operations. The architecture shows that no- thing was done during the reign of Edward II. ; but in 1327 Edward III. succeeded to the throne. His warlike spirit and strong policy kept the Scots in check, and affairs assumed a more settled condition, which allowed people to think of the arts of peace.
We find in the register of Archbishop Melton, about the year 1330, that the monks of Selby were to build their new choir as soon as they had money enough. This, of course, means that they were to proceed with tlie tvork which was in abeyance. It is to this date that the continuance of the work may be assigned. This comprised the third section, including the two eastern windows in the south aisle, and that at the e<ist end of the same, and the large window at the west end of the north aisle. At the same time the apsidal chapel on the east side of the north transept was taken down and a square chapel erected of greater dimen-^ sions, with an arch opening to the aisle of the choir, the Korman arches opening to the west end of the aisle and that opening to the chapel from the transept remaining. The piers of the great arcade of the choir adjoining the eastern bays of the south aisle followed, thus making the ground story complete up to the old Norman choir, with the exception of the central portion of the east wall.
A most important stage in the work was now reached, viz. : the necessity for removing entirely the old Norman choir, and connecting the new choir with the transept. This being effected, the eastern responds were carried up to their full height, the great aicades finished from end to end, the great east window formed, and the upper sacristy built.
The parapets and the termination of the buttresses and pinnacles to the aisle walls, and the whole of the clerestory of the choir, with the east gable and its attendant pinnacles, are all works of one date ; indeed, there does not appear to have been any lengthy pause in the progress of the buildin<>: when it had once been beo;un ai>;ain after the Scotch wars. It is not easy to define exactly where one section ended and another one began in every instance and at every point. In the case of the piers and arches of the great /ircvides no changes weve xw^de in the details as the work
THE AKCHITECTURAL niSTORY OF SKLBY ABBEY. 369
progressed. The forms of the various parts and the sec- tions of the mouldings were decided upon, and templates made and kept, and all the arch and other moulded stones were cut from these templates, at whatever point in the history of the work they might happen to be required. This was the general rule in large works, which often took a long time to carry out. In such details as carvings and window tracery, however, changes were made, and it is to the windows especially that we are indebted for our know- ledge of the exact period to which each portion of the work belongs. In the choir and sacristy we find no less than nine distinct forms of tracery — three in the Geo- metrical period (1245-1315), viz., the north aisle windows, the south aisle blind windows against the sacristy, and the windows of the lower sacristy : six in the Curvilinear period (1315-1360), viz., the three in the eastern part of the south . aisle, which are of an early form of reticulated tracery ; the large window at the west end of the north aisle, which presents an early form of flowing traceiy ; the great east window ; the windows of the upper sacristy ; the clerestory windows ; and the window in the east gable, a late form of flowing tracery. Only one stage of the development of tracery is absent, that of the latest phase of Geometrical, which obtained from about 1300 to 1315, during the reign of Edward II., in which, as we have seen, no buildii>g was done at Selby.
Space does not admit of a minute description of all the details of this work ; it is sufficient to say that it ranks with the best of its kind. The buttresses and pinnacles are admirably finished with richly crocketted pinnacles and spires. The parapets have open flowing tracery, and upon them are placed, except in the case of those to the south aisle and the sacristy, numerous seated and standing figures, three in each bay, — a charming conceit, as clever as it is rare, which this church shares with Beverley Minster. The east end is a grand and imposing composition, and although it contains works of several diff'erent dates, extending over upwards of a century, yet so harmoniously are they blended together that at first sight the design appears to have been carried out all at one time. Large and well carved gar- goyles project from the buttresses of both aisle and clere- story. One of them on the north side is a very unusual

subject, representing a boat i^ith three men iu it^ who appear to be vomiting over its side, an instance of the coarse practical wit of the mediajval carvers.
Internally the detail is of equal beauty. Above the arches forming the main arcades is a moulded string-course, through which the vaulting shafts rise. These have capitals of great size, consisting of splendid masses of conventional foliage, deeply undercut. They support stone springers for an intended stone vault, another evidence of the intention of which may be seen externally in the " tuskings *' for tying in the projected flying buttresses to span the aisle roofs. But, as was the case at York, the vault was only carried out iu wood. It is of quadripartite form, with ridge ribs both ways and two intermediate ribs in each cell. At each intersection is a richly carved boss, the designs showing great spirit and variety. At the main intersections they are of octagonal form, measuiing two feet two inches across, some of the larger ones bearing such subjects as Our Lady, the Trinity, a bishop blessing, etc. ; others, the four Evan- geUsts ; but the majority represent different agricultui-al pursuits, such as reaping, binding, winnowing, and threshing of wheat, while others are carved with natural foliage, such as the vine, the oak, a wreath of bindweed, etc., the cos- tunics of the various figures being those adopted by the husbandmen of the period.
A wall passage is carried along the sills of the clerestory windows, with a parapet of pierced flowing ti-ncery, and ornamented heads to the openings at either end of the window spaces. On the parapet were similar figures to those on the exterior, but very few of them remain.
The vaulting of the aisles was carried out in stone, probably at this time. There are clear indications that it was an addition to the springf^rs prepared for it on the main piers and on the aisle vaulting shafts, after these had been some time in position.
The capitals of the responds at the east end are of much later character than the remaining capitals of the arcade. It is singular that less care should have been expended ou these, as their position is a very prominent one.
To the time of the completion of the choir belong tlic verv beautiful stone screens which surrounded the high altar. These are three in number, one reaching across.thc

choir from north to south between the two eastern piers, the other two being carried westward from the same piers to those next to tliem. The lines of the tracery in these screens is identical with that of the windows of the upper sacristy. The carving of the diapered spandrils, and of the crockets and cornice, is of the most lavish description.
To the same period as the fourth section of the decorated work of the choir we may assign the changes made in the north transept. These consisted of the removal of the I^orman arches on its eastern side, and the insertion of the existing ones ; the removal of the old clerestory and the addition of the present one, which has large four-light traceried windows of similar design, but a little later in date than those in the clerestory of the choir. The other details of the interior were made like those of the choir, by the formation of a wall passage at the bfise of the clerestory windows, protected by a parapet with open flowing tracery, and similarly moulded rear arches to the windows, so that on the eastern side of this transept no traces of Norman work are apparent.
In the 49 ih year of Edward III. (1374-5) a licence to crenellate the house was obtained. ^^ This extended not only to the church, but also to the cloister and the domestic buildings (mansum). The troublous time of the Scotch wars may be considered as the reason for this precaution. How far the convent availed itself of the permission given we cannot now know, but some very significant changes made in the west front of the church are probably of this period. These consisted in the addition of a battlemented parapet to the two western towers, and the carrying of it at the same level across the west end of the nave. The parapet is well built and has a roll moulding carried round both the merlons and the embrasures. There are three embrasures on each side of the towers and there were five over the west front. Behind the parapet, and for the whole extent of the front and of the width of the towers, was a flat roof. Behind this was a low gable, with a large window in it to light the space between the ceiling and the roof of the nave. The ancient gable -cross also remained. Contemporary with the addition of the parapets are the lofty pinnacles which

still crown the angles of the western towers. The parapet across the west front, and the gable, with its window and cross, were destroyed when the modern nave roof was put ou in 1873. These features were interesting as showing how the west end of the church was rendered defensible.
During the fifteenth century some further alterations, and some additions, were made to the fabric. The first of these was the change in the west window of the nave. The central pier, or muUion, which divided it into two lancet lights, was taken out and Perpendicular tracery with three lights inserted. This was in 1413.
Tlie Lathom chantry was founded by the will of John Lathom in 147G. Soon after this the aisle of the north transept was taken down and extended, large Perpendicular windows were set in the walls, and deep buttresses added at the north-east angle. The parapet which had formerly crowned the walls was replaced, thus making it appear as if the windows were mere insertions, but a base course of two ogee mouldings of the same date as the rest of the work shows that the walls have been rebuilt.
About the same time the great north transept window was put in. It is of seven lights, with a transom, and resembles in its general outline the east window at Beverley, and the west window at Bridlington. Contemporary with it are the large square panelled turrets intended to terminate in spires, which were added at the angles of the transept, probably in place of Norman ones. Only the stumps of these turrets now remain. It is uncertain whether they \Yere ever completed. Similar turrets were added in the fifteenth century to the angles of the nave, choir, and tran- septs of Kirkstall Abbey.
The only internal works of this period that remain are the stone sedilia of four stalls on the south side of the choir. These are exactly the same in design as the sedilia in Durham Cathedral, and the dimensions also agree to a trifle. The canopies were never added, or have been destroyed. Modern ones are now ^ being put on the old work below. An image-bracket wutli a carved head, on the west side of the fourth pier from the east in the nave, is probably an insertion of fifteenth century date.

THK ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY OP SELBY ABBEY.
373
The subsequent history of Selby Abbey is one of decline. At the time of the Dissolution the whole church was spared, and has since been kept in a state of decent repair. The only great disaster to it, except recent and meditated changes, was the fall of the central tower caused by the failure of the south-east pier in 1G90. The form and date of the upper portion of the old tower can only be conjectured, the representations made of it before it came down being inaccurate and undecided. The balance of the evidence seems to point to a stage added in the Decorated period.'* This must have been subsequent to the date of the clere- stories of the choir and north transept, as the settlement of the tower, caused by the addition of the extra weight of the upper stage, distorted and carried down all the parapets and string-courses in its immediate vicinity.'* The fall of the tower ruined the south transept and two bays of the south aisle of the choir. It also destroyed the western b«iy of the choir vault. The ruins of the transept were removed, and its site levelled. The rebuilding of the tower seems to have proceeded slowly, as it was not finished till after 1702. The adjoining bays of the south aisle and clerestory were also rebuilt in a quaint manner. The aisle windows were round-headed, but the one in the clerestory had a pointed arch and a curious substitute for tracery. These are now all removed to make way for new work which more or less accurately copies the old work adjoining.
The nave was "restored," 1871-3, under the direction of the late Sir G. G. Soott, architect. The old loof wjis removed and a modern high-pitched roof substituted. The old ceiling was allowed to remain. The old low gable at the west end of the roof was removed and a new high- pitched gable was erected over the west front, to make room for which the ancient battlements over that portion were removed. Internally, the vaulting of the south aisle over the six western bays was rebuilt,^ and the vaulting shafts

* In 1891, a portion of the choir parapet on the north side adjoining the tuwer, and which was all out of level, was taken off and replaced on the same level as that to the east of it, a course of new stones being added underneath the cornice to effect ihis. This is on instance
of the way in which so-called restoration blots out architectural history.

on the faces of the Norman piers of the nave, which had been cut away at some time unknown, were made up with new stone.
In 1890-1, the choir was restored under the direction of Mr. John Oldrid Scott, architect. The main structural alterations made were the taking down and rebuilding the portions on the south side built up after the fall of the tower ; the completion of the vault over the western bays of the south ai.sle and tlie wooden vault over the west bay of the choir. The only structural innovation to which serious exception may be taken is the insertion of large carved corbels beneath the capitals of the choir piers, in the two western piers on either side. The accompanying plan shows the form of the western piers in their lower part. Imme- diately beneath the capitals they were the same as all the others. The change in plan was made by the onii.ssion in the lower part of the pier of its inner member, which was merely cut away in the form of a hollow curve. This was done in order that the stalls might be placed a little further back than they could have been had all the piers been alike. The form of the canopies of the stalls was probably a con- tinuous cove, with ribs and cresting, rather than a range of spire-like canopies. Stalls of this kind may be seen in situ at King's College Chapel, Aberdeen. Those in llichmond Church, formerly in Easby Abbey, are very similar in form. The coved canopies would fit the cut-away shaft in frout of the pier, so that the unsightly line would be hidden.^^ The photograph of the interior of the choir shows the intro- duced corbels, which could not have existed with the orio:inal arrano:ement.
It would be tedious to enumerate all the changes made ; they consist principally in the introduction of modern furni- ture and fittings, in very questionable taste, many of which are shown in the photograph.
Selby Abbey is not rich in ancient woodwork, the earliest

portions remaining being a few of the stalls in the choir. These date from the first half of the fourteenth century. They have natural foliage carving on the elbows and miseri- cordes. On the trefoil-shaped moulded cappings to the arm-rests arc holes and circular shallow markings, indicating that the canopies were sustained in front by turned wooden shafts with moulded bases standing on the arm-rests, similar to those remaining in Winchester Cathedral and St. Mary's Hospitcil at Chichester. The remainder of the woodwork is of the fifteenth century, and comprises the roof of the nave ; the font cover, similar to those in St. John's and St. Andrew's Churches in Newcastle-upon-Tyne and that in Thirsk Church ; the north door, which has Perpendicular tracery ; some screens of good character, now placed in the arches of the north transept, and in one of the bays of the choir ; and the aumbries on the north side of the altar. These last liave vertical sliding doors and some original ironwork ; also a long aumbry with a hinged door for con- taining the abbot's crosier or the procession<il cross. There was at the beginning of this century a quantity of ancient woodwork behind the altar screen, but Avhether this has been destroyed, or whether it consisted of the screens mentioned above, it would be diflScult now to decide.
Of the ancient rood-loft there arc no remains and its exact position is uncertain. It was probably of wood, and between the two eastern piers of the tower. Its total disappearance is no doubt due to the collapse of the tower.
The roof of the choir does not seem to have undergone any change or but little rep«iir till it was taken off in 1890 to be repaired and relcaded. At that time a curious machine was found fastened to the timbers at the point marked KL on the plan. It consisted of an open revolving drum, similar to that attached to a squirrel's cage, fastened to a shaft, which also passed through a solid drum. The shaft revolved between two cross timbers. A stone cylinder was suspended from the drum by means of cords. This has been supposed to have been used for ringing the Sanctus bells, by means of cords which passed through holes in the wooden vaulting and were carried down to the floor.^®

376 THE ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY OF 8ELBY ABBKT.
An ancient alms box, of a common type, viz., formed by making a hollow in the end of a beam of oak, formerly stood in the Lathom chapel. This is now fixed against the south- east pier of the tower, near the pulpit.
There are no remains of stained glass leil in the church of an earlier date than that of the beginning of the new choir. The earliest are a few fragments in the inrindovs of the nave aisles, and some more considerable pieces in the north aisle of the choir. The reprehensible practice of removing or destroying all pieces of old glass when a new stained- glass window is inserted has gone on without check at iSelby since memorial windows have become customary. A schedule of the remaining ancient portions will therefore be of use.
In the east window of the north aisle of the choir is on imperfect shield with the arms of fitz alan of bbdale, Barry of eighty or and gules. The upper portion of the shield in now gone, so that it has the appearance of having had a chief.
On the north side, in the first window from the east is a shield with the arms of j.ucy, Gules, three luces hauriant argent, in excellent preservation. In the next window is a shield with the d'akcy arms, Azure, semee of crosses ci*osslet three cinquefoils argent. In all these three windows are por- tions of canopies in the heads of the lights. These canopies are straight sided, with crockets of natural leaves, and show that the glass is not much later in date than the stonework.
There are also some remains of the figures that filled the lights.
The window at the east end of the south aisle of the choir is a shield with Gules, three lions passant-guardant or dehruised hy a hendlet azure; the arms of thomas, earl ok LANCASTER. In the adjoining window on the south side are three shields : —
(1) Gules, three lions 2^(^ssant'guardant or, a label oj three i^oints azure (edwaijd of Woodstock, son of Edward III).
(2) Argent, a saltire engrailed gules (tiptoft).
(3) Argent, a lion rampant azure (faucokberqe).
In the clerestory of the choir are now twelve shields with arms, four on the north side and eight on the south side. In 1800 there were twenty shields on the north and sixteen

on the south. These shields appear to date from the last century, and some may be of still more recent date, but as they are said to retain a large proportion of older glass, they aie given here as far as they remain. On the north side, in the second window from the east are two shields : —
(1) Argent, a bend sinister gules within a hordure counter componee or and azure ;

has SIX of the small lights iu the tracery filled with frag- ments of ancient glass.
In the north aisle of the nave there are some small fraz- nients of ancient glass in the four easternmost windows. These are chiefly parts of borders and foliaged backgrounds.
In the south aisle of the nave, the second and third windows from the east contain pieces of ancient glass. In the third window is a chequered circle, which 1ms l)eeii erroneously described as the arms of CHtford. It appears to have been a portion of a background.
In 1861, the east window of the lower sacristy was re- glazed. It appears that about this time some havoc wns made amongst the ancient stained glass remaining in the church, for seven shields were inserted iu the new glazing, besides other pieces of ancient glass.
In the north light are two shields : —
(1) Cliequee, or and azure, a /ess guUs Tclifpord).
(2) Azure y two bars-gemeUes gules^ a chief or (meinbll).
In the centre light are three shields : —
(1) Gules, three lions passant-gaardant 07\ a label of three points argent (thomas plantagenet, earl op Norfolk, fifth son of Edward L).
(2) Barry of six, azure and argent (grey).
(3) Gules, three lions passant-guardant or, within a borditre argent (edmund of Woodstock, earl of kknt, son of Edward 11.).
In the south light are two shields : —
(1) Argent, fretty and a chief or (ellbrker),
(2) Gules, a cinquefoil argent (payne).
Some of these shields were originally in the south choir aisle windows, which are now filled with modern stained glass.
This list of twenty -four coats contains all that now remain out of the sixty-five which were to be seen in 1800, when ^Mountain made his survey. The remainder perished between that year and 1861, some at the time when, " in order to render effective the warming of the church, thirteen of tbo clerestory windows of the choir, and also the upper east window, had been filled with brickwork."**® The alterations

of 1852 <and the subsequent insertion of modern stained- glass windows have also acted as destructive agents to the old glass.
One of the ancient glories of this church was its noble east window, one of the largest and best-proportioned in the country. This character, when complete, it shared with that at Carlisle in respect of its tracery as well as its glass, and also with the east window of St. Mary's Church, Shrewsbur3% in respect of its glass. The design of the tracery and raullions divides the window opening into seven great lights, the centre one being wider than the others. The arched bead is filled with curvilinear tracery of bold character,*^ and is rather later in date than the more beautiful Carlisle window, as it retains none of the forms in use in the Geometrical period, as that docs. The mullions cind tracery bars are of two orders of mouldings, and divide the main lights into three groups, a central group of three, and two outer groups of two lights each. The details are sumptuously carried out and there are carved capitals with natural foliage, to both mullions and jambs, internally and ex- ternally. The tv.o thicker raullions arch over the central group, and, intersecting each other over this arch, describe a pointed oval figure, which fills the head up to the apex of the window arch, The outer groups are coupled by similar arches in the tracery, from the points of which arches the bars sweep upwards in bold curves till they reach the central figure. This is sub-divided into eleven cusped openings, two of which are pointed ovals ; a third pointed oval forms the head of the central group of lights. The remaining spaces are subdivided by flowing lines. There are ninety openings in the head.*^ The eyes of the cusps are many of them solid.
It is lamentable to think that the original glass filling this window had suivived in a fairly perfect state to the be- ginning of this century, but it was treated with so little care, that now, out of the sixty-seven figures, which the "made up'' window displays in its great lights, excluding

that of Jesse, only twenty-four are ancient, and many of these contain pieces of new glass. In 1820, William Fowler made some careful coloured drawings of portions of the glass, and six of these were published amongst bis folio plates of Mosaic Pavements, Stained Glass, &c. In 1827, a great musical festival was held in tho church, and a large wooden gallery was erected across the east end. On this occasion a great deal of damage was done to the glass in the lower part of the window. In 1845 a severe hailstorm shattered much of what remained, and the whole was then in such a forlorn condition that it was all taken out, except that in the tracery lights, and packed in boxes, which were stored in the triforium of the nave. In 1690, the whole of the glass, including that in the tracery lights, which was then taken out for the first time, was sent to London to be cleaned and reloaded. The missing parts were ** made up " with new glass to complete the original design, which has been based on that remaining in a much more perfect condi- tion at St. Mary's Church, Shrewsbury. The work was carried out by Messrs. Ward and Hughes, of London, at the expense of Mr. William Liversidge, of Selby.*' In flie Selhy Times, 1890, some articles appeared from the pen of the late James Fowler, F.S.A., which gave a mast valuable account of the subjects known as "Dooms" and "Jesses," in stone, wood, glass, wall-paintings and embroidery, and embodying a detailed description of this window.
Like the glass in the east windows at Carlisle and St Mark's, Shrewsbury, the design embraced a "Jesse" in the great lights and a "Doom" in the tracery lights. Fortunately the uppermost figures in all the seven great lights remained entire, and gave the key to the whole scheme of the '* Jesse." The " tree of Jesse " extends over the five inner lights, and contains the genealogies of the kings, culminating at the top with Our Lady and Child, above which two tracery lights contain the Crucifixion and the Pentecost. The two outer lights contain prophets and apostles. The figure of Jesse was lost. The new one lepresents him as lying at the foot of the window, the figure extending over three lights. From

this the tree rises. In the centre light its stem by crossing and recrossing, forms a series of pointed ovals in which the figures are placed. In the four adjoining lights, the stems form a series of S shaped scrolls behind the figures, which stand on the horizontal branches. The two outermost lights are beyond the range of the tree. It will only be necessary to describe here the figures that are original glass. Begin- ning at the north side of the window, the figure in the head of the first light is the only ancient one. It represents S. GERMANUS. He is standing under an architectural canopy, with a pointed arch ; he is vested in alb, dalmatic, crimson chasuble, stole amice and mitre, his right hand is raised in benediction, while in his left he holds a crozier. In the next light, the head is occupied by JOANNKS BAPTISTA, and below are EZEKCHIAS, JEREMIAS and YSYAS. In the next light, JACOB is at the head, and four other ancient figures are labelled HERODES ASCALONITA, SEDECHIAS, AMON and MANASSES. Then comes the centre light with Our Lady and Child at the head with no label, and below three other ancient figures JOACHIM, JOSIAS, and EZECHIAS. In the next light, JOSEPH is the head figure, and the other two ancient ones are HERODES TETRACHA and JECHONIAS. S. PETRUS heads the next light, and the other ancient figures being S. GRRGORIUS, S. HIERONYMUS and SARASAM.** At the top of the south light is S. PAULUS, the other two old figures being S. JOANNES and S. BENEDICT. The kings wear rich robes of varied form and

But the figure bears uo resemblance to that of a king, al- though quite what a mediseval artist might draw to represent an eastern sage. And Mr. Fowler, usually so accurate, appears not to have seen the front side of the R when he made his tracing. The fclass is original, and the word is SARA- S AM,* doubtless a form of one of the many names given to the three Magi beside Caspar, Melchior, and Balthasar, their usual names, which are found in a treatise ascribed to Bede, De CoUectonei ;

are crowned and hold sceptres. The saints are all nimbel St. Peter holds the keys, St. Paul a sword ; St. John sits at a desk writing, attended by his symbol of an eagle. St Benedict is tonsured and is habited as a monk, and holds a crosier to which the vexillum or orarium is attached.
The borders are of great beauty ; that to the centre light has yellow crowns and a blue background. The two lights on either side have yellow lions 2XtssanUguardant on a ruby ground. The next on either side have a most beauti- fully drawn border of hazel boughs with yellow leaves on which brown squirrels are seated cracking nuts. The two outer lights have the same border with yellow three- turreted castles alternating with white covered cups on a blue ground.
The " Doom " occupies the head of the window, and the various figures and scenes which go to form the subject are arranged symmetrically in it. The uppermost sub-division of the great pointed oval centre-piece is occupied by a figure of Our Lord in Majesty. In the two on either side are cherubim. In the next two are angels holding instruments of the passion ; the dexter one three nails, the sinister one the crown of thorns. In the opening below Our Lord is St. Michael weighing souls. In that on his right is an angel carrying four souls to heaven ; in that on his left is a devil leading two souls bound to hell. In the uppermost openings outside the centre-piece are the sun and the moon attended by stars. In the next on either side are angels facinpr outwards, blowing trumpets. Below these are, on the dexter, the gates of Heaven, on the sinister, the mouth of hell. Within these, and above the thicker mullions, arc, on the dexter, an angel bearing a soul ; on the sinister, a devil bearing a soul. Fourteen other openings contain figures rising out of their tombs. They are both male and female, and are all clothed ; four are kings with crowns and sceptres, and two are priests. The tombs are architec- turally treated and have arcaded sides, but the covering slabs are not so conspicuously shown, nor do they exhibit the same variety of crosses as they do in the Carlisle "Doom.'^ The two openings immediately over the thicker mullions contain coats of arms. That on the dexter has new glass with the arms of the abbey, aahle three swans argent, that on the sinister retains ancient glass, with the

lions of England as borne by Edward III. before 1340, which is probably the date of the window within a year or two. This date is some forty years earUer than that of the glass in the Carlisle window, where the " Doom '' only remains, which may be compared with that at Selby. The older glass is of much bolder design than the other, and though in a smaller window it is set out on a much larger scale, i.e., the individual figures are larger and not nearly so numerous, 80 that the spaces are less crowded. The drawing of the Selby glass is also less delicate than the other. The glass itself is much thinner and of an inferior quality. Mr. James Fowler concluded, and no doubt rightly, that the heraldic significance of the charges in the borders coincided with the arms of Edward III. in the tracery. The loss of the other original main shield is to be deplored, as it would probably have left no doubt as to the exact date of the window.
The monuments of the period of the monastery that are now remaining are probably but a tithe of what the building contained when in its prime. The most ancient one now lies in the south aisle of the choir. It is a grave-cover of the coped form, and was found in 1867 in the cloister at the point indicated on the plan. It commemorates Abbot ai®XaN10®ift (1214 — 1221), whose name is cut in Lombardic letters along the centre of the stone. The angles at the sides are decorated with the dog-tooth ornament.
There are three large flat slabs with incised efiigies of abbots. Two of these had continued in their original positions till 1890, when they were taken up, and all three laid in the north-east angle of the north aisle of the choir, They were seriously damaged during the alterations of 1890-91, and the inscription on the earliest of them, that of John de Shireburn (1368-1407), which was till then in great part quite plain, is now illegible. It is given here from Mr. Morrells reading.

Lawrence Selby's memorial (1486-1504) is larger and in much better preservation. It lay in front of the high altar, in the position shown on the plan, till 1890.

The incised effigy represents the abbot attired in alb, dalmatic, chasuble, and mitre. His hands are folded on his breast and his head rests on two cushions crossed. The crosier lies over his right arm. On the sinister side of the head is a shield with the arms of the abbey. A triple gabled canopy with crockets and pinnacles fills up the space above the head.
The incised monumental shib of Abbot John Barwic (1522-1526) had been moved before 1890.*« It was en- graved by William Fowler in 1820. The inscription is in the marginal border, there being roundels with the evan- gelistic symbols in the angles.

The above are all the inscribed pre-Reformation memo- rials in the church. The inscriptions are in black-letter characters with a few Longobardic capitals. The lettering is generally between incised lines round the border of the slab, but in a few cases it is in parallel lines across the slab.^^
In the floor of the nave are several grave-covers with incised crosses and other symbols. Those are now either partially or entirely covered by modern seats and other furniture.
Selby Abbey can still boast of three monumental eflBgies of lay folk. Owing to the supposed greater sanctity of the regular as compared with the secular clergy, the conventual churches became the favourite places of interment of the great families during the middle ages. Hence one of the most lamentable results of the dissolution of the monasteries has been the extensive destruction of monuments and tombs, many of the grandest of which were to be found in the choirs of the monastic churches. The earliest of the three eflBgies is that of a lady, which now lies in the north aisle of the nave. The date of this may be as early as 1290, and

as the design of the canopy is very similar to the details of the thirteenth century work in the choir, it is doubtless of the same time, and possibly commemorates some member of a family who contributed to the work. The figure is repre- sented dressed in a long loose tunic, falling below the feet. This has tight sleeves, with a row of small buttons at the wrists. The head is covered with a wimple, over which is a veil. The throat is protected by the gorget. The front of the tunic exhibits a coat of arras, a bend between six hammers, for hamerton. The hands hold two shields. The dexter one bears, on a/ess three fieur-de-lys (usplet or ousefleet) ; the sinister, a bend between six martlets (tem- pest).^^ The canopy is of bold projection : it has double cusping, and a crocketted gable terminated by two well- carved heads. Above the gable, on the sloping sides of the canopy, are two more shields with arms. The dexter one bears the same coat as the shield, held by the left hand. The sinister one a plain shield with a chief.^*
Lying near this effigy is another one of a knight^ of about the same, or rather later date. He is also a hamerton, as his shield, slung over his left arm, bears a bend between six hammers. He is clad in chain mail, with a coif of mail on the head, which rests on two cushions crossed. His body is protected by a hauberk of mail, and his knees by genou- {Uteres of plate. His legs, which are crossed below the knees, are covered with chausses of mail, and the feet rest against a lion. There is a loose surcoat over the hauberk, and the long sword hangs at the left side from a belt round the waist.
But by far the noblest monument that, so far as we now can tell, the church contained has, at one time or another, received the most ignoble treatment of any. This was a splendid altar tomb with an effigy, all of alabaster. It was erected to the memory of John Lord D'Arcy and Meinell, who died on the 9th December, 1411.^^ It originally stood under the third arch with its head against the fourth pier

from the east at the south side of the choir ; the east end, or foot, of the monument was isolated. The length at the base was upwards of eight feet, and the width and height were proportionate. At the floor level was a broad sub- base or step ; above tliis was a plinth with a fine suite of mouldings. At the two sides and the east end was a high dado, divided into panels and niches. These are alternately large and small. The smaller ones have cinquefoiled cusped heads, above and below a transom. The larger ones contain standing figures of angels, whose feet rest on semi-octagonal projecting brackets, and whose outspread wings fill the upper parts of the niches. The angels hold on their breasts large shields of rectangular form bearing coats of arms, sculptured in relief The smaller niches which were originally on the north, or choir, side are more elaborate than those which were on the aisle side, as they had two- light traceried openings with mullions. The heraldry of the tomb was noted by Sir Wm. Dugdale in 1641, and a careful coloured drawing of it, a facsimile reproduction of which forms Plate II., is in a folio volume of about 200 leaves, containing coloured drawings of glass, arms, monuments, brasses, etc., and which was made for Sir Christopher Hattoii, and is now in the possession of the Earl of Winchelsea and Nottingham.*^ According to Dugdale's notes, the heraldry seems to have been arranged thus. Beginning at the west end on the south side were : —
*(1) Quarterly^ I and IV y semee of crosses crossht, three cinque/oils ^'^ (d'arcy) ; // and III, two bars gemelles and a chief (uEi'SELh).^^
*(2) Barry of six, a label of five points (grey of wilton).
(3) A lion rampant within a bord^ire engrailed.
(4) A bend, " probably scrope.^'

** I am indebted to Mr. Mill Stephen- Bon, F.S.A., for drawing attention to this MS. and for the loan of the block from which Plate II. is printed, as well as for notes on tlie heraldry, &c., of the tomb, made in 1879.

The arms were probably painted as well as carved, but as no traces of colouring now remain, some of them cannot be identified. Lord D'Arcy's great grandmother was a daughter of William Lord Roos, his grandmother was Baroness Meinell in her own right ; and his mother was a daughter of Sir Thomas Grey, of Heton. He maried Margaret, daughter of Henry Grey, Lord Grey of Wilton, by Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Talbot, Lord Talbot. Thus most of the coats occurring on the tomb are accounted for. Out of the twelve shields, eight remained in 1890, viz., these marked (*) in the list above. Now only seven remain, one with a lion rampant being absent.®^
The upper slab remains, as far as it is, in one piece with the effigy, of which the head, trunk and part of the feet still exist in a mutilated condition. It was finely sculptured and represented Lord D'Arcy clad in the armour worn at the period of his death. Around his neck is the Lancastrian collar of SS, while over the body armour is an embroidered jupon showing the D'Arcy and Meinell arms quartered. Hound the thighs is a broad girdle ornamented with large square studs at intervals. The head still shows traces of the pointed bascinet which covered it, which lay on a tilting helm having a panache of feathers. The feet

rested on a crouching lion, of which there are some re- mains ; this is strangely omitted altogether in the drawing by Dugdale.
This once fine monument, the only altar-tomb in the church, was in its original position till 1857, though much decayed and mutilated. During the earlier part of the present century, the schoolboys were in the habit of knocking off pieces of alabaster whenever they pleased.
It is difficult to believe that this fine monument, the only altar-tomb in the church, was in its original position and in a fairly perfect state only forty years ago.
Some considerable changes in the arrangements of the furniture of the choir were begun in 1852. But it was not till 1857 that this tomb was taken down and moved to a position under the east window, and against the east wall of the choir. In the process of removal and refixing, some parts of it were lost or destroyed. These included the whole of the upper covering slab, with moulded edges, and four of the shields from the dado. When in this position it is thus described by Mr. J. W. Twist, author of the drawing. ** I made the sketch (in January, 1890) when the tomb was in the latter position previous to the last restoration. It was then in a most mutilated condition, having been refixed in a very clumsy fashion.^ Part of one end was fixed at the side and part of the side vice versd. The tracery, panels, and mouldings were fearfully hacked and broken, also the shields, some of which were illegible. The monument was held together with a lot of cement, the trunk and head-piece of the effigy were fixed on a mass of cement, sloped down on either side to the mouldings as shown on my sketch."^* In 1890, some more considerable changes were begun in the church. The D'Arcy monument was again taken down, and the promise then made that it should be re-erected has not yet been fulfilled. Any such intention, indeed, would seem to have been at one time abandoned, if it be true, as is stated on good authority, that some portions of the monument were worked up in making a new credence-table. The vicar stated in the Selby Times of April 8th, 1892, that " several pieces of the alabaster,"
^ Said to have been done promion- Mountain's History of Selby (1800), y. p. 98.
» Vide also Morrell, p. 227; and
392 THE ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY OF SELBT ABBEY.
which ho described as "mere shapeless fragments,'' had been "incorporated with the credence-table/* Whether the pieces used were all as " shapeless " as the vicar supposed, admits of grave doubt. But both he and the " Eestora- tion " Committee now say that ** all the parts of the original D'Arcy monument in existence in 1890/' are still in the church, and that " the two small pieces of alabaster used in making a credence-table were not parts of the original D'Arcy monument/' How these apparently conflicting statements are to be reconciled does not greatly matter. It is, however, very much to be regretted that one of the panels with its angel and shield (that bearing a lion rampart within a bordure engrailed) and some considerable portions of the base-mouldings have disappeared since the beginning of 1890.
It is somewhat remarkable that we have no tradition of a Lady Chapel in Selby Abbey, beyond the entirely modem and erroneous notion that the eastern bay of the choir was so used. Some slight differences in the treatment of the lower part of the east wall internally as compared with the aisles have been supposed to support this latter view. There is, however, no foundation for this theory. The eastern bay was, as at Carlisle and other places, used as a processional path, and is more properly called the retro-choir. It is however not impossible that chantry altars were placed beneath the three eastern windows, though the entire absence of such accompaniments as aumbries, piscinae, image and lamp brackets, or pedestals, militates strongly against such an opinion being correct, and the differences in the treatment of the wall arcade could be otherwise accounted for. It is not improbable that the Lady Chapel, if there ever was one, was to the east of the south transept, in which position it would supplant the Norman apsidal chapel, and balance the Lathom chapel in the northern arm.
Of the cloister and the monastic buildings not a vestige now remains. The foundations of the chapter-house and other buildings were exposed on the occasion of the visit of the Archccological Institute to Selby in 1867, but they do not seem to have been planned. The portion of the western range which abutted against the church has been laid down on Plate V. from a plan and description made by the late Mr. J. C. Buckler, architect, about 1814, and now
THE ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY OF SELBY ABBEY. 393
in the possession of Mr. W. W. Morrell The buildings are thus described by Mr. Buckler : '^The timber structure attached in the 15th century to the angle of the west front was in two stages, mounted upon a stone basement 33 inches in thickness and buttressed. The pattern of the tracery was extremely dehcate and exquisite in design. The main relic of these valuable remains was a sturdy structure of stone, beautifully built, designed for some very useful purpose ; it formed the ground chamber of a noble apart- ment, the destination of which I cannot conjecture. It was most certainly connected with the great dormitory. This lately existing relic was erected in the early part of the 13th century, and was elegantly arched and groined in stone in two avenues, the pillars circular, 22 inches in diameter, upon bases 2 feet 8 inches square. All this work remained in admirable strength and preservation to the day of its destruction. It was closely connected with the side of the church, and was not a solitary appendage ; its adjuncts extended towards the east and the south."
This group of buildings comprised the dormitory and cellarage beneath it, the abbot's chambers, and a long passage, with chambers adjoining it, leading to the abbey gate, whicii was 88 feet to the west of the west end of the church. Some part of the superstructure of this building was half timbered work, with wooden tracery in the windows, which appears to have been of a very good character. The interior of one of the rooms was painted in fresco. This work was of the time of Abbot Deeping (1504- 18). The abbey gateway was removed in 1792, when the Crescent was built. The other buildings fell into bad repair at the beginning of this century and graduallj^ disappeared. When they were finally cleared away is doubtful, but no portion was standing in 1840, though they were in good condition in 1815. There were two newel stairs connecting the dormitory with the church and with the cloister. One of these was the day stair, by which the monks reached their sleeping cubicles from the cloister for their siesta. The other was used for gaining access to the church from the dormitory at matins without having to go into the open air. At Selby the stair did not lead directly into tho church, but into a passage between the undercroft of the dormitory and the south aisle of the nave. The doorway from this passage
391 THE ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY OF SELBY ABBBT.
in the aisle wall still remains, built up. The peculiar arrangement of a dormitory on the west side of the cloister and running east and west occurs also at Worcester.
A short distance to the south of the abbey is the great tithe barn, which before it was curtailed, about IS 40, was of transeptal form, 313 feet long and 29 feet 6 inches wide. It has a double row of wooden pillars to support the roof, which is a splendid example of mediaeval carpentry. The central portion, with the transept, and part of the east end, are now destroyed.
To the south-east of the abbey is the abbot's staith on the right bank of the Ouse. There is a quay wall of mediaeval date and towards the river is a great warehouse of the fifteenth century, with four doorways having four-centred heads, and some cusped headed windows on the side next the town.
The Soke mill adjoining is also of ancient date.
THE YORKSHIRE ARCHiEOLOGICAL SOCIETY.
An important step has lately been taken in the history of the Association which it is hoped will lead to a great extension in its work and usefulness. The large area of the county has always been an obstacle to the thorough working of the Society, and an attempt has been made by means of Local Committees to bring all the three Hidings more closely into connection with the Central Council. This was done, to some extent, by means of Local Secretaries, and the Society is much indebted to those gentlemen who acted in this capacity.
As far back as the year 1877 the late Mr. Fairless Barber moved a resolution at the Annual Meeting advocating the Licorporation of the Society ; this resolution was carried, but owing to Mr. Barber's illness and death, was not acted upon. In the early part of last year the scheme was revived, and the Council unanimously resolved that the time had now arrived when steps should be taken to carry the scheme out. Mr. Chadwick undertook to draw up a Memorandum and Articles of Association. This was done, and the subject was carefully discussed, the Memorandum was revised and finally agreed upon in the form sent round to all the mem- bers. The document, as amended, was forwarded to the Board of Trade, and on March 4th, 1893, a licence was given to the Yorkshire Archaeological Society (as the new body will be called) to be registered under the Companies Acts without the addition of the word " limited " to its name, and the Society became duly incorporated on the 7th March, 1893.
The Presidents and Vice-Presidents became Patrons, with the addition of the name of Dr. Sykes of Doncaster, and the President is Thomas Brooke, Esq., F.S.A., to whose warm support for more than five-and-twenty years the Society owes its present position. TV\e tvwtdl^^t ol \>ci^

It was further decided that the seal of the Society should consist of the device of the " White Rose " within a Gothic border with the following legend,

CLUNIAC HOUSES OF MONK-BRETTON AND PONTEFRACT.
VisiUtion, September 6. 1279 (7 Edw. I).
Visitation of English Cluniac Houses made hy order of Yves de Chassanty Abbot of Cluni, hy the Prior of Mont" Didier in France ^ and the English Prior of Lenton.
Visitation of England made in the year of our Lord 1279, by the Priors of Mont-Didier in Fiance, and of Lenton in Notts.
Cells to la Charite.
On Mondtij preceding the fenst of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin (Sep. 8th) we arrived at the Priory of Mouk-Bretton, accompsnied by certain officers of the Sheriff, Nicholas de . . . .
Knocking at the outer gate, we demanded admittance in the name of our Lord Abbot, on whobe service we had come to carry out the visitation of the house. To this we received no answer. Again and a;;ain the knocking was repeated, but to our continued demand for admission the portal-gate remained persistently closed. A certain person, however, whose name was William de Riole, seemed to be acting for the Prior and Sub-Prior and the rest of the (Convent, on this occasion, and upon him, in presence of all, we proceeded to pass sentence of exc mmuuication ; which being done publickly and in writing, we took our departure. The same day we immediately reported the matter to the King, and to the Sheriff, and in due course received the following commands and instructions : — By the King we were ordered to take into custody the above William de Kiole ; and the Sheriff directed us to force or make good our entiuiice into the priory. As for myself, I quitted the spot, but left the Prior of Montacute to await the necessaiy warrants and summonses. On their arrival we returned to Monk-Bretton PrioiT, accom])anied by the bailitf and other sherift's officera. On entering the })riury, he at once proceeded to the church, and knocked at the di.K)r of the Chapter-house. Certain of the inmates, habited in the dress of the Onier, were there ; some were sitting in the Cloistei'S. The visiting Prior then entered the Chapter-house, in order to can-y out the duties erf* his office, but not a single monk appeared, and being asked the reason, the fraternity affirmed, one and all, that they had no intention of

attending ; their Prior was away, and they would not attend without him. Upon this the Prior of Montacute, in presence of the entire assemblage, proceeded to pass sentence of excommunication upon the baid William, the Prior, the Sub-Prior, and the whole contumaceous community, proclaiming them so excommunicated on the part of the Abbot of Cluni, and revoking at the same time the compact or agree- ment which was in existence between the priories, declared it null and void. Upon this the Prior of Poutefract withdrew at once, without either eating or drinking, or holding any further communication between them. It will be imperative to interfere very seriously in this matter, and consider what measures are to be adopted.
PONTEFRACT.
The same day we came on to Pontefract, where the brethren number 27, including the Prior. They properly conduct and devoutly perform the Divine offices, leading also honest and commendable lives. The con- ventual buildings are well roofed and in good repair, and the Prior has added to them ; the church is good, as also its ornamentation. As to its temporal wants, in respect of food or provisions, they are both abundant and sufficient until the next harvest. On his first appointment, he found the liabilities of the house to amount to 3,200 marks. It is twelve years since he first took it'*)ver, and now the debt is reduced to 350 marke, or even less ; and this, the Prior affirmed in the presence of the whole Convent, in which all that community agreed. In addition to this, the Prior has obtained a small property of 2 carrucates of land, which seems to be a profitable acquisition. Moreover, fifteen years ago, the Convent incurred an obligation of 400 marks, for which it made itself liable for the Priory of Monk-Bretton ; but it holds bonds and written securities from that house, by which the latter indemnify and protect it against loss.
The above is taken from Sir G. F. Duckett's " Visitations of English Cluniac Foundations." It appears of sufficient interest locally to justify its insertion in the " Yorkshire Archaeological Journal." F. R. F.

vailed in cathedrals on S. Nicholas Day (6th December) of electing from the choristers a Boy Bishop, who assumed the episcopal vestments and functions on that day, whilst the other boys of the choir were habited like priests, and together the party discharged all the Holy Offices except mass. The practice prevailed from a very early period, but it is impossible to say when it began in England. ProbaUy in tlie 13th century, but it continued until put an end to by an edict of Henry VHI. These boys continued to perform ecclesiastical offices apparently from the day of election until the 28th of the month, and, as may be readily supposed, the practice resulted in all kinds of scandalous abuses. At Salis- bury, it is said, that the Boy Bishop had the disposal of Prebends falling vacant during his rule. In proce^tsions the Dean and Chapter went first, the little mock bishop and his fellows taking the place of honour at the tail of the pro- cession. Gorgeous vestments were kept for the purpose, as appears from ancient inventories, and the Sarum Procession^ of 1566 gives the services for the Boy Bishop set to music, so it is plain that, at any rate, in its earliest days, tliere was no thought of anything in the nature of tomfoolery about the proceedings. It may be interesting to publish a list of the Episcopi Piierorum at York, of whom records are to be found in the old registers. The elections were almost always regularly confirmed by the Chapter of York.

Trifling mortal, tell me why
Thou hast disturb'd my urn ; Want'st thou to find out what am 1 1
Vain man, attend and learn !
To know what letters spelt my name.
Is useless quite to thee : An heap of Dust is all I am,
And all that thou shalt be.
Go now, that heap of Dust explore,
Measure its grains or weigh ; Can*8t thou the titles which I bore,
Distinguish in the clay 1
What glitt'ring honours or high trust
Once dignify 'd me here. Were characters imprest on dust,
Which quickly disappear.
Nor will the sparkling atoms show
A Claudius or a Guelph : Vain search ! if here the source thou'dst know,
Of nobles or thyself.
The mould will yield no evidence,
By which thou may'st divine, If lords or beggars issu'd thence
And flll*d the antient line.

Th' extent of all their gains, Themselves and their possessions too,
An earthen pot contains.

The aocompanjing Pedigree is taken from the CoUeotions of the late T. N. Inee of Wakefield, now in the possession of John Sykes, Esq., M.D., of Doncaster, to whose kindness I am indebted for a copy. I have taken the Pedigree one generation further back, and altered it in one or two particulars, which will be detailed. In the
{ear 1868 I sent to the * Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldica' copies of the Brooke nscriptions in the Parish Church at Huddersfield ; it will not be necessary there- fore to refer to them again. Newhouse is a pleasantly situated house in the village of Sheepridge, about a mile and a half from Huddersfield.
The Arms of the Brookes were — Ermine, on a bend sable a hawk's lure with Kne and ring or. Motto : " En Dieu ma foy."
The first Thomas Brooke (1) seems to have been unknown to Somerset Herald. His will is dated 8 January 1553, and he mentions his wish to be buried in the Parish Church of Huddersfield ; his daughters to live with their mother ; alludes to Newhouse as lately built by himself. His wife Jennet, and John and George his 8DDS, to be executors. Proved 27 June 1554. There is nothing known about his wife's parentage.
Thomas Brooke (2) was buried on the 27 April 1588, but no monument to his memory remains. His will was made in 1586 ; his children are not mentioned, but bis wife Jennet is left sole executrix. Jennet or Joanna was daughter of John Hirst of Greenhead in the parish of Huddersfield, and is mentioned in her father's will, proved in 1582. She was buried at Huddersfield.
Thomas Brooke (3). Will dated 25 June 1624 and proved 4 January of the same year. He mentions that he is a widower ; leaves 20s. a year to the poor of Huddersfield, his CTandchild William Walker, son and heir of Henry Walker of the Old Hall alias Rockley, another grandchild Roger, son of Roger and Susan Rhodes. To his grandson Thomas Brooke he left " The cupboard in my parlour with 12 pieces of pewther stamped with the letters J. & C, one pewther cup, one table in the same parlor, also one long table in the House & two long buffets & cupboard in my said ion Thomas's parlor, three great arkes & four iron ranges, also three stand beds," etc. This Thomas Brooke was the father of William, the founder of the Dodwortb Branch.
(4) The will of Thomas Brooke was signed in 1638. He left his daughter Eliza- beth £400 and £6 13s. 4d. per annum for her education. She married Matthew Prince, one of the principal freeholders in the parish of Woolley ; his property was sold to the Wentworths for £7000. Thomas Brooke enjoined his son Joshua to maintain ^ Elizabeth my loving wife and Elizabeth my daughter at his lable at Newhouse aforesaid with sufficient howserowme, fyrerowne, lodginge, meat A drink suitable to their callinges, so long only as my wife Elizabeth doth keep herself sole and unmarried, also during the same time to provide and buy & also keep for the said Elizabeth, my wife, one nagge or mare with his owne." He left also £20 to his widow, 40s. to Mr. Edward Hill, Vicar of Huddersfield, '' not doubting but that he will make a Sermon amongste my frendes att my funeral.*' He also left 40s. to his cousin Hanson to buy a ring, to my sister Susan Rodes £10, and to the poor of Huddersfield £5.
(5) Elizabeth Brooke made her will in 1641, and made numerous bequests : '' To the said John Whittell, my son, the ringe and Bible which his father gave me ; to my loving daughter in law, Sara Brooke of Newhouse, mv best silk gown ; to my loving mother my second gown, my second bever hat, my best rideinge suite and all m Horse furniture ; to my sister Margereye, wife of W" Wilson of Saddleworth, clerk, my best grogerara gown, my red chamlett petticoat & my best bever hat ; to toy sister Margaret, wife of my brother John Claye, two of ray best gownes, two
Setticoats, together with a riding suite ; 20s. to M' Eldward Hill, Vicar of Hndders- dd, for a funeral sermon ; to my daughter Elizabeth my better Bible and a gold ring that her father gave me."
(5) Thomas Brooke died unmarried the year before Ma iaXXv^t. T»aa^^»^ft ' went to the next brother.
(6) Joabua Brooke was the last male of the Brookea ol '^^^XiWMaift- ^^
412
baptized at Hnddersfield 9 October 1614, and died there in 1658. LitUe ii kBOfi of this person beyond t!iat he was a rich tanner. He e^re the font-oow to tti Parish Church of Hnddersfield. He left no will, and his wifq administered to hk eflfects.
(7) Sarah Brooke, the eldest daughter and coheiress of her fbther, mtiried Ifc. John Gill. The Gills were a family of consideration, and their pedigree is givn k Hunter's ' Hallarashire.' Sarah Gill was the sole issue of this marriage; she did early, and her father appeal's to have inherited her property. Mr. Gill was awniil three times ; the last wife was Martha, daughter of Joshua Horton of Sowerbj,b|4 she was born in 1656, and died in 1689. By this lady Mr. Gill had three diildnii Westby the eldest sold his property and became a controller under the Boaidrf Works, he died about 1746. John Gill the second brother lived with his sister Eli» beth, who married Benjamin Gregge, Esq., of Chambre Hall, Lancashire. (Xm Heywood, in his Diary, makes the following remarks on the old homestead of Kif* house : " By an observable call 1 was brought to M'* Brooke^s at Newhooss to hci a fast upon a special occasion, Nov. 18^^ '78, & indeed I have very seldom fool such enlargements & meltings of spirit. It may be God hath some design of fool in that very ignorant place ; the old woman was carnal, I fear, her daognteneiiiL M' Gill, the young Gentleman that married the one, keeps a Kennel of Hoai^ yet much affbcted."
The second daughter of Joshua Brooke married Mr. John Townley, head of Hi Hurstwood branch of the Townleys. He was Jnstice of the Peace and a BarrkfeiF at-Law. The marriage took place in 1681 at Hnddersfield. He was burieik 1704, and Mrs. Townley in 1711). There were two sons bom of this marriip^bil they both died young, and the property devolved upon two dangbtera, Uellen ■! Katherine. Ilellen the elder marned Mr. John Wilkinson, who, according to OSm Heywood, inherited £600 a year from his father Matthew Wilkinson of GreenlNilB Huddersfield. John Wilkinson bought the old estate of the Croslanda of CroriHl Hill, and was a wealthy man. He died in 1727 and was buried at HoddenUii his wife survived him three years. Mr. Wilkinson left a son John, and a Jimtla Helen; the son died a bachelor in 1736, and all his property devolved upon Hi sister's son. Helen Wilkinson married Sir John Eaye, ana died in 1729, kaviiga son. Sir John Lister Kaye, who succeeded to his uncle John Wilkinson's eiWs The property remained with the Kayes some time, but has now changed handi; tk Crosland Hill estate belongs to the Battyes, the Oreenhcad estate partly to di Corporation of ifuddersfield and to Sir John Ramsden, the old Newhonse sMi : also to the Ramsdens. The other daughter of Mr. John Townley was Gathiri^ wife of Mr. Richard White of the Tower of London.

A SURVEY OF ISURIUM.
By ALEX. D. H. LEADMAX, F.S.A.
The substance faded ! All the pageant gone ! Save fmil memorials, which the votive hand Shall snatch, decaying, from the grasp of time, And bid them live in record.
The village of Aldborougli is a mile and a quarter distant from Boroughbridge station on the North-Eastern Railway. The approach to it lies through the town of Boroughbridge along a pleasant road, shaded with trees on either side. The great features of Aldborougli are the Roman remains, for the present modern houses are built upon the ashes and foundations of a city or rather cities of early times, and carry the imagination back to the day when the ancient Briton bowed himself before his Roman over-lord, and further back to the period when the Briton himself was supreme. This Roman city can be traced, and it is the one Roman city in Yorkshire whose dimensions can be given with something like accuracy ; a fine series of pavements can be seen, whilst the ground teams with coins, urns, pottery, and many other traces of the Roman occupation.
Leland made his wonderful tour through England between the years 1533-43. I think he would visit Aldborough, or as he calls it Aldehurgey shout 1538. He says: — "This was in the Romaines Tyme a great Cite on Watheling-stret, cauUid Isuria Brigantum ; and was waullid, wherof I saw vestigia qucedam, sed teiiuicL' Three centuries and a half have passed away since Leland wandered among the ruins of Isurium. Over twenty years of my own life have been spent among these vestigia, and it is the object of this paper to put upon record some particulars of what remains at the present day.
The only book dealing with Isurium is "Reliquiae Isurianse," by the late Mr. Henry Ecroyd Smith — a work showing marvellous patience and industry. It is, however, very

4U A SUUVEY OF ISUttlUM.
scarce, and not free from errors. I believe Mr. Smith him- self regarded it more in the light of a guidepost to be useful when science should become the handmaid of archaeological research, and as such it must be valued.
There can be no doubt that Isurium is the Latinised form of Iseur, the British name of the city, which the Romans subsequently occupied. Isurium has another alias — Isu- brigantium.
Of Iseur we know but little — in fact, much of the history of the earliest ages of our country remains in darkness, and only fitful gUmpses shine through the veil. Though Hero- dotus had heard from the Phoonician traders of the Cassi- terides, or the Tin Islands, as early as B.c. 450, yet it is not until fifty years after the dawn of the Cliristian era that we know anything about Iseur. Then we learn it was the chief town, or city, of tlie Brigantes, a warlike tribe spread over the north of Britain, also the court of their kings, and that Cartismundua was queen, ruling here in A.D. 50. Of her pedigree we know nothing, but she had a husband named Venutius, with whom she quarrelled, and afterwards married one of her generals named Volocatus. A deep stain clouds the character of this queen. It was to her the British chieftain Caractacus, king of the Silures, fled, yet, despite some relationship, she delivered him up, loaded with chains, to Ostirius, the Roman general, who carried him to Rome and led him in triumph through the streets of that splendid city. Undismayed at the grandeur surrounding him, he uttered the famous sentence : — " Alas ! that a people, pos- sessed of such magnificence at home, should envy me a humble cottage in Britain ! "
What would Iseur then be like ? Simply a communitv of men and women living in circular huts made of wood and roofed in a conical fashion, the city surrounded b}' walls of felled trees, whilst the country around would be
** Thick with wet woods and many a beast therein."
After many useless and bloody struggles, the country of the Brigantes, slowly but surely, yielded to Caesar, and the conquerors, finding the chief town so well situated, took possession of it. Built on a gentle slope, the soil warm and fruitful, near a large river, but out of the way of floods, the wattled huts of Iseur gave place to well-built

A SURVEY OF ISURIUM. 417
houses ; temples, a hall of justice and forum were erected, and altars smoked with sacrifices to strange deities, whilst the entire city was soon surrounded by a strong and well- fortified wall.
As we enter Aldborough, on the right hand is Aldborough Manor, the residence of Mr. Lawson, a vice-president of the Society, the western end of whose house stands upon the site and foundations of the Roman wall. Prom here it can be traced northward for 650 feet over two fields, where it turns to the east and runs along for 550 feet, when it again bends northward for 160 feet, and then again eastward for 495 feet. The fields bounding this north track are still named " Under Walls " and " Wall-hurle.'' Then comes a slope at an acute angle to the south for 230 feet, which is lost under the buildings belonging to Aldborough Hall, the Hall itself, and the grounds, and for 1100 feet it is not visible, though no doubt if allowed to dig the gardens in the Hall grounds we should come across it. Yet where it could last be well defined is in a straight line with where we next see the wall in full evidence, though grass-grown. Now it can be walked upon for 790 feet, when we arrive at the south-east angle where the wall has been bared, and I remember seeing how good the masonry was, but time, frost, and rubbish have silted up the hole, and bushes of briars grow there. But we can follow the wall for 275 feet, when it is lost under buildings, a road cut through it, and it is 490 feet before we can find it again, yet the straight line is easy to determine. After entering Mr. Lawson's grounds we come across ex- posed pieces of wall about 160 feet in length. Walking on the hidden remains for 130 feet, another piece of very beautiful walling comes in sight, about 120 feet in length, well protected by trees, but free from ivy ; behind which is a chamber 9 yards long by 2 wide, now called " the par- lour ; '' another reach of 190 feet again brings us to bared wall 50 feet long, which at this point turns at an acute angle to the north-west. Covered wall Ues under our path for 220 feet, when we come to a fine piece, measuring 1 70 feet, excavated on both sides. East of this is a regular labyrinth of foundations, at present very much overgrown with ivy. Another walk of 335 feet over covered wall brings us to a piece of bared wall 50 feet long, close to the
418 A SURVEY OF ISURIUM.
east of which are foundations of the Roman baths and other buildings, all of which want clearing out. Following a straight line for about 275 feet we pass the front of Aldborough Manor, and join the place in the road from which we first started. As traced the walls show a circumference of about 6,440 feet, or nearly a mile and a quarter, forming a some- what irregular rectangle, wider on the south side than the north, longer on the east than the west, and enclosing aa area of just 60 acres.
The walls vary from eleven to sixteen feet in thickness, and must have been at the least twenty feet in height They are built of red sandstone, mixed with magnesian limestone, and portions of grit. And a famous quarry they would be in the media3val ages. Churches, houses, walls were built of their stones, and possibly they were used to mend roads. The walls excavated were so treated in 1846, when the Royal Archaeological Institute, that year meeting at York, visited Aldborough. On some of the bared portions the ashlar-work remains in perfect preserva- tion, looking as if the Roman masons had just left it. At each of the angles there would be small square towers, enabUng the garrison to watch the approach of any oflFensive army.
Thus far the outline of the walls to follow which, as I have done, leave will have to be obtained from the respective tenants.
Next come the gates of Isurium. Three are easily fixed — east, west, and south. The east gate (j) was probably where the road from Lower Dunsforth now enters Aldborough. A mile to the south-east there is a piece of Roman road about 500 yards in length, the sole remaining bit in the district, and two miles further on stood the Duil Cross Tumulus, near to which was found, in 1776, a Roman votive stone, and from this point the road pursues a direct line, and all are in a straight line with the eastern entrance.
The south gate (g) would be where tlie road to Minskip leaves Aldborough, passing through the Chapel Hill, and here would be the roads to Olicana, now Ilkley, and Calcaria, now Tadcaster. At Minskip, a mile and a half from Isurium, is a well-defined square camp, 290 feet long by 220 feet wide, which must have been an outpost for the defence of Isurium, and in the same township there is a field called Inneker,
A SURVEY OF ISURIUM. 419
where, in 1888, urns, querns, pottery, and Roman coins were found. The west gate (f) was a little above Aldborougli Manor, and some fields, still called " the Briggates," show plainly where the great main road led from Isurium to the River Ure, which it crossed to Cattaractonum, now Catterick, with a branch oflF to Derventio, now Old Malton. No trace of a north gate has been found, though Camden speaks of a Rudgate leading down to the river, of which however nothing has ever been ascertained, and though in writing this mono- graph I do not pose as a Roman antiquary, I most firmly think there never was a north gate. A line down from where the north gate should be would bring us to deep water, whereas half a mile further up stream there is a fine and extensive natural ford.
The north road still remains in the Leeming Lane, and if a straight line was drawn from its termination in the parish of Kirkby-on-the-Moor to the site of the Dull Cross Tumulus, it will be found to include the supposed Roman road close to the eastern gate, the piece of Roman road still existing, and the continuation of the road to York.
Isurium is given in the Fourth Iter as XVII miles from Eboracum ; and XXIIII from Cattaractonum. In the Seventh Iter it is XVIII miles from Olicana.
The north road would cross the River Ure about 500 yards below the present bridge, cind there is a tradition that some piles of this old bridge were remaining at the close of the last century, and that fishermen used to hang their nets upon them to dry. No vestige of the bridge is left, and as for the roads, the ploughs and ploughers, generation after generation, have well nigh obliterated every trace of them.
To return to the pavements. The first is in the house on the right-hand side after we pass the Manor ; it is under- neath the front room floor, and is shown by raising a trap- door. It measures about eight feet square, has a well-defined Byzantine pattern formed of red, black, and white half-inch tesserae, with a border of inch-square red stones. It was found in 1771, remains m situ, and is in good preservation.
The second pavements are in a low two-storeyed thatched house, the only one left in the village. It has been built over 250 years, and in its day would be considered a first-class residence — for rca«l the inscription over the windows : —
420 A SUnVEY OP ISURIUM.
*' This is the Ancient Manor-house I And in it you will see The Koman Works ! A Great Curiosity I"
There is a very fine pavement in situ, measuring 15 ftet by 14 feet, and occupying tlie entire floor of a back roo|L It Avas discovered as far back as 1 732. The tesserae used Jttii red, white, and black. It is in eight sections, four and foia; with a border of larger red tesserae all round, and a dimkn doAvn the middle. Four of the sections have a large ceatnl diamond-shaped design, two are composed of small diamond- shaped blocks, another is all in squares, whilst the last k made up of very small tessera) set crosswise. fPavement A. sections 1, 2, and 3.) It has evidently been the floor of a large apartment. It is in good preservation, and is well looked after. As the eye gazes on it the thought wanders back to the lloman woikman who, some 1,5U0 or more yeai's ago, laid this floor with such geometrical precision, to be the admiration of this and succeeding ages. The great charm of most of the pavements here is — they are in situ.
Against the wall there are two fragments of other pave- ments, and on the floor several millstones, whilst on a taUe are spread out pieces of urns, pottery, &c., found from time to time in the adjoining garden.
In the corner there is a cylindrical pillar of coarse glik now measuring four feet in height and eighteen inchet across. It formerly was seven feet high and stood aboil^ 200 yards from the Duil Cross Tumulus, already mentiooidi as three miles from Aldborough. In 1 776 some entetpriA^ip. waywardens broke into the tumulus thinking to find stOH^- but only discovered some cinerary urns. The inscription opi the column runs thus : — Imp. Caes. C Messius Q. Decie. In Pio Felici. Aug XX C.S.
Opposite the ancicnt Manor House stands a cluaterad. column of freestone (d), which was removed some forty yean ago from the market-place at Boroughbridge, \vhere far over 000 years it had stood to commemorate, according to tradition, the Battle of Boroughbridge, fought March 16 and 17, 13*22.* The style is decorated, which was then in fashion, and as the earlier portions of Aldborough Church

are in the same style, it is reasonable to assume that the skilled carvers occupied at' the church also erected this handsome pillar. On the other side of the road is an old- fashioned timber and plaster house, specimens of Avhich are getting scarce, and it is the only one in Aldborough.
The next place to be visited is the Church, but as I have already amply described it in the Journal,^ I will simply add that it is a typical country parish church, and will well repay examination. At the east end of the vestry, in the outer wall, is inserted a Roman figure of Mercury, said to have been found in the churchyard about 1560 (c). It is carved on a piece of millstone grit, measures 40 inches high, and 22 inches across. The top is broken off, and some one has capped it with an ogee head of freestone, which gives it a comical appearance. The figure of Mercury is 30 inches in height, the alsB or wings of the travelling-cap can be made out, and the right hand grasps the caduceus, or wand. It is very much weatherworn.
After leaving the church the village green is reached, on the higher part of which was an elevation called the "Borough Hill," where the Roman Forum stood. The hill was levelled in 1683, when numerous remains of buildings, &c., were discovered along with several beautiful pavements. The latter were preserved in a careless sort of way until 1750, when they perished by neglect. For- tunately some were seen by Drake, and are illustrated in his "Eboracum." Now the crest of ground is occupied by a large barn, formerly called the ** Borough Barn," where up to 1832, whenever there was an election to choose two members to represent Aldborough in Parliament, the "free and independent" electors recorded their votes, and the '' poll " was declared from the top of a flight of stone steps hard by, at the foot of which a pair of stocks, that excellent punishment for the toper and brawler, still remains. The old hostelry, the " Aldeburge Arms " (e), close by, retains the room where the elected members and their friends dined, and the brickwork of the copper in which the plum-pudding was boiled is still in existence, from which the pudding was lifted straight on to the table, for those were not the times of dinners " k la Russe," and long journeys by road, combined

with slow travelling, were both conducive to good appetites and copious libations. But all this is somewhat out of our Roman line, yet the visitor will see them.
In the garden of the " Aldeburge Arms " are two very fine pavements, both well looked after, and protected by good buildings. The first was quite accidentally discovered in 1832, by a former tenant, who had lost a calf, and sent a boy into the garden to dig a grave for it. Having made a hole some three feet deep, he came to a hard surface, which, when uncovered, proved to be a fine tesselated pavement. The broken walls forming its boundaries enclose a room whose dimensions were 13 feet by 11^ feet, and made an excellent foundation for the present superstructure. Though damaged by early exposure, and yet more by the depredations of visitors, who would pick out tesserae,^ still enough is left to show the design of what has been a splendid pavement.
The outer border is of large brown tessera.
The iieco7id is of smaller white tesserro.
The third is a simple key-pattern of black and white tesserse.
The fcnirth is white, enclosing on two of its sides a wreath of quadruple guilloche of five threads each, the central bands iipou a white, and the outer ones upon a black ground. The bands where overlapping in the centre of the braid are black, brown, lilac, white, and black : elsewhere the middle colours are red, yellow, and black.
The fifth is a quadrangular wreath of very complicated style. It consists of parallel bands of five tessera), in black, red, yellow, white and black, upon a black ground, and at tlieir junctions are oblong divisions, circular at one end and pointed at the other. The latter arc bordered with black, within which is a single brown tessera, two rows being lilac and the rest white.
The sijcth is three rows of white tessenc.
The seventh is of six rows of black and white tessenc, aiTanged in the form of alternate pyramids.
The eif/hth is a smaller but beautiful key-pattern of black tessenc, the spaces being filled in with rows of red, yellow, and blue tessenc.
The 7iinth is of three rows of white tessera).
The tenth border is two rows of black tessenc, enclosing the following curious picture upon a white ground : — Beneath a palm-tree rests an animal, often taken for a lion. The body of the animal is much mutilated, but the outline can be followed. Part of the head is vciy distinct, the eyes, nose, mouth, and teeth ; the front of the chest, fore-paws, lower portion of back, and part of the tail, are all well defined. The tessenx used are brown, black, yellow, red and lilac, and the way they are arranged is very striking, but both the tree and animal must be regarded as conventional.

Close by is another building, covering one of the most beautiful tesselated floors, and perhaps the most perfect we have in England. It may be fitly described as the " pride of Aldborough " (Pavement B). It was found in the autumn of 1848 by the late Mr. Henry Ecroyd Smith, who speaks in rapturous terms of his discovery. Original Roman walling surrounds and has made a good foundation for the modern stonework. At the south-east corner a flue-tile remains in the wall, and by gentle percussion the hollow flue can be traced through which the fire warmed this room.
The first or outward border is of large grey sandstone tesserec
The second is of five red tesserce.
The third is white, the borders being of three, five, seven and nine tesserse respectively.
The fourth is a double guilloche of four bands of five threads each ; the colours being black, red, yellow, white and black.
The fifth is a largo (Jothic pattern, formed of black and white teaserrc, and making a square of twelve feet.
The sixth is a guilloche of four bands of black, red, yellow, white and black tessercc.
The seventh is of two rows of white tessenc.
The eighth is of two rows of black tessera*.
The ninth is of alternate black and white pyramids. Inside this border is a double or eight-pointed star on a white ground. The star springs from a centre, and is made of very small tessera; of exquisite workmanship. The rays of the under-star and those of the superior star are green, but they all have a handsome border of black. At their intersection occurs the outermost of a series of concentric rings, commencing from a focus of one white tessera in the middle of a cross of black upon a red ground. Enclosing the cross is a ring of single white cubes, a second of red, a third of yellow, a fourth of black, whilst the series is outwardly completed by a red and white ring of two tessenc each.
Charming is a descriptive word that can be used here with truth. The garden where these pavements are abounds in Roman relics. Foundations, stones, querns, tiles, pottery^ coins, Ac, have been and are still found.
Next we visit the lloman Basilica, where there is a pave- ment bearing a Greek inscription (b). Though only a few feet distant from the last, it involves a circuitous walk through another garden. I only know of three other places in England where there are inscriptions, i.e., Woodchester, Frampton, and Thruxton. This Basilica was discovered in 1 846, about eighteen inches below the surface. It is a building 52 feet in length, 1 2 feet in width, and has had an apsidal

end. Formerly it has been 24 feet wide, but only half the building remains. The walls are two feet thick, and vary ia height, but were found firm enough to support the modem superstructure. Wo first enter a vestibule, 9^ feet long and 12 feet wide, the floor formed of brown tesserae, in the centre of which is part of a fine wreath of guilloche of ten bands, each of six colours, black, red, brown, two whites, and a second black, at the end of which is a section of lozenge form, in black and red upon a white ground. Remains of a wall two feet thick divide this room from a hall 39 feet long, including the apse. Across the top are the bases of two pillars which have helped to support the roof, and the floor has been once a handsome pavement with a deep border of red tessera). A little portion of wreathwork is left at the southern end, and part of the bust of a female can be traced, but damp and neglect have obliterated the once-vivid colours. In the apse under a glass frame is the lower half of a figure draped in long flowing robes, the hands holding a scroll on which are the Greek characters EXHo-coN (Have pity !). By the side of this is a pretty wreath, and the whole is worked out in shades of red and brown upon a white ground. All show very clear. A small square hole near the apse was found filled with human bones. This must have been the Temple of J ustice.
At the south-east of Isuriiim, about a hundred yards from the corner of the city wall, is a raised platform, or earthwork, 70 yards long and 1 0 yards wide. It has received the name of ** Stadium/' and has been thought to be the place for the celebration of games and races (i). It was more likely an out- post for the immediate defence of Isurium, as troops could be discerned at some distance ofiF, and the sentinels could give the garrison ample warning to be on the alert. From this place, if the weather be fine and clear, the towers of York Minster can be seen without artificial aid. A little further on there is a raised mound, called Stodhart, Stothart, and Studforth Hill. It is now planted with trees, but when arable some years ago a small altar w^as found. To my mind Studforth Hill is an unexplored tumulus.
Iletracing our steps, we follow the south road out of Aldborough, when without the city wall it cuts through the Chapel Hill, where the place of burial was, and urns, bones, weapons, stone cofiins, &c., have often been found.

Those who hke may ascend the Tower in the Aldborough Manor grounds, from whence on a clear day extensive views over the vales of York and Mowbray, Nidderdale, and the Yorkshire moors will be seen, but to the archseologist the '* Museum Isurianum " will be the greater attraction. It was built by the late Mr. Andrew Sherlock Lawson for the reception of the collection made by his father, himself, and others, and was formally opened iu 1864, when the British Archaeological Society, then meeting at Leeds, visited Isurium. Nearly everything has been found at Aldborough, and here we meet with untold treasures showing what masters of the arts and manufactures these old Romans were, and to what a high pitch of civilisation the proud conquerors of the world had attained ere luxury and enervation under- mined their stately and colossal fabric.
The floor of the museum is formed of several large pave- ments, of different designs and sections, part of which has at one time formed the floor of a long corridor. These pave- ments are not in sitUy but were removed to this place to prevent their destruction. A long glass case of double com- partments, twenty in number, runs down the centre of the room. Starting from east to west, and then vice versa, the contents of the several divisions are : —
1. Some very fine specimens of wall-painting, found in 1830, when excavating the baths.
2. Articles and ornaments in bronze.
3. Coins. It is said that coins of all the Roman emperors, from Nero to Maximus Magnus, have been found at Isurium, excepting Otho, of whom few, if any, coins exist. Copper coins are of frequent occurrence, and were formerly called " Aldborough Halfpennies.''
4. Rings, chains, fibula), and other ornaments in gold, silver, and bronze.
5. Ivory and bone hairpins, needles, combs, dice, spoons, counters, &c
6. Jet ornaments. Glass, including several specimens of white opal glass.
7. Iron implements.
8. Fictilia, or earthenware.
9. Red pottery.
10. Lamps, «kc.
11. Handles of large vessels, showing makers' uame&
12. A British idol, found when digging for a cellar; flint spearhead found near the Devil's Arrows ; a fourteenth-century pikehead, found in 1881, in the river banks; also several good stone axes and hammers.
13. Fictilia.
14. 15. Fn'gments of Samlan ware, showing makers' names.
426 A SURVEY OP ISCJRIUM.
16 — 19. Samian ware.
20. Some nearly perfect specimens of Samian ware, including tWo fine bowls.
On the shelves at the west end are numerous specimens of pottery, roof-tiles with nails attached, a flanged tile with the impress of a goat's foot, and other articles. One tile is marked LEG. IX. HISP. It has been thought that Isurium was at first garrisoned by the Ninth or Spanish Legion, which became so weakened in numbers by repeated incursioDH of the Picts and Scots, that it was incorporated with the Sixth Legion, or Victrix, then stationed at Eboracum, and this formed the later garrison of Isurium. On the floor is the upper portion of a Roman altar, a Roman memorial stone, and a mutilated draped figure of Mercury, which was found, about 1850, in the Aldborough Hall gardens. On the Museum walls hang some old, but very conventional, paintings of the following Roman emperors : — Domitian, Caligula, Nero, Galba, Otho, Vitellius, Vespasian, and Titus. Opposite to them, in strange contrast, are six Nuremberg dishes of brasswork. Four represent the Temptation, and the other two the return of the Spies from the promised Land bearing the cluster of grapes.**
Four sections of a moss-grown runic cross have been recently placed in the museum, and are worthy of ex- amination.
The east end of the museum is fitted up with a large glass case, in wliich are exhibited specimens of larger pottery, amphorse, &c., but the chief interest lies in a small collection of funeral urns. These are seven in number, more or less perfect, besides various fragments. Four contain the calcined bones of young people. Six of the urns are composed of burnt clay, but the seventh is a casket of wrought lead with a lid. It is three-parts full of calcined bones, and as metal urns are somewhat rare, it is very likely the urn used at the cremation of some person of high rank.
Cremation was held in high honour among the Romans, and was practised by them from about 82 B.C. to 420 a.d. 1 ts origin seems lost in obscurity, but the grand idea no doubt was the purification of the body by fire. Expense, more than any other cause, led to its disuse, for the funeral

pyre was a costly affair, and could only bo borne by the rich. There are the remains of a bustum in the Manor grounds, just outside the city wall. Let us picture a Roman funeral taking place here ! The pyre was built of the driest and most readily-burning wood, between the layers of which were placed various resinous gums and sweet-smelling incense. Wine was then poured over the whole, and on the top a handsome cloth was laid. Then came the funeral procession, bearei*s carrying the mortal remains of the deceased, others following with lighted torclies, the sad mourners bringing up the rear. Arrived at the ustrinum an obolus, the toll for Charon, was put into the dead person's mouth, the body was most reverently laid upon the pyre, and the nearest relative, taking a torch, with eyes averted, set fire to the wood. Wine was thrown at times into the fire, and as the flames consumed the corpse, the prayers of the mourners were offered to the Gods of the Shades, that their dearly-loved one's spirit might be safely transported over the dark waters of the Stygian Lake to the Elysian Fields beyond. The fire having consumed the body and spent itself, the calcined bones were very carefully placed in one of these urns and reverently buried in the earth near the place of incineration. How much better cremation is than the present system of burial ? Isurium would be a flourishing city about a.d. 120 ; the Romans left Britain in 418 ; and these two dates give an approximate idea of the age of the seven urns in Mr. Lawson's Museum.
A few more words about the pavements. All the best are on the west side ; those found on the east were poor and of no interest. How many the original number, it is impossible to say. Seven remain in situ ; five are preserved, but not in situ ; three pavements mentioned by Drake have perished ; three have been sold to distant museums ; ^ one is known to exist under the vicarage garden, and another under some buildings ; there are four fragments — making a total of 25 !
But as Isurium waved the Roman Standard over the British Iseur, of which all but the name has perished, so in its turn Isurium was burnt to the ground by the Danes in

866, and the Saxon village of Burg, \\'hich later on was called Ealdburg, was razed in that fearful devastation of the North by William the Norman, when be swore "by the splendour of God" that he would avenge his slaughtered garrison of York. Yet of Roman Isurium we cannot say the ruin thereof has wholly perished. More is left of Leland's " vestigia qucedam seel tenuia " than would at first sight be thought) and I hope that some day a systematic and scientific exploration of ancient Isurium will be undertaken. Hitherto research has been desultory, and much virgin ground remains to be investigated. Just outside the Museum is a large collection of millstones, both upper and lower, capitals, bases, grotesque heads, &c., &c.
The visitor is allowed free access to the beautiful grounds of Mr. Lawson, who welcomes all both to museum and gardens, and there, amid flowers and walls, ivy-grown foundations, Roman altars, a very pleasant time may be spent ; and I venture to say that the visitor will never forget this delightful place. May ancient Isurium long remain in such worthy hands !

March \ith, 1825. — The church is (sad to relate) entirely rebuilt nvith brick, with the exception of the tower. The church within is neat and commodious — and that is all.
Thorganby.
This Church is small, and has an ancient stone tower, apparently Perpendicular. The church consists of a body and chancel, and is externally entirely newly cased with vile brick and adorned with Venetian windows. The interior, however, displays some few vestiges of antiquity yet suffered to exist. The arch which divides the body and chancel is wide and segmental, and most probably Norman ; and the font is a plain rude octagon evidently ancient. The church is, however, but a poor piece of architectural patchwork at best.
Elvington Church
Is newly built from the ground with brick, and is a very neat structure, but contains little that is interesting except the font, which is plain, but good and antique. Opposite to Elvington on the opposite bank of the Der- went, which is there crossed by a bridge, is the village of Sutton-on-Derwent
Sutton-on-Derwent.
Its church is an ancient and respectable structure. It TM)nsists of a nave, chancel, and side aisles. The nave is divided from the aisles by semi-circular arches springing from slender circular pillars, some of which have square^

some octagonal capitals. Above them is a clerestory of square headed windows, which are very common in this country. The tower is divided from the nave by a pointed arch, and has ^ window of Decorated work. The windows of the church do not appear of any antiqui^, being mostly square. That at the east end is of five lights beneath an obtuse arch. In the chancel on a flat stone is a remnant of an inscription running thus —
" Orate p aiab Johls . •
Amen."
At the west end of the nave is a gallery with a barrel organ .
Skipwith Church
Is a very handsome structure of much better archi- tecture than many country churches. It consists of a nave with side aisles and a chancel, with a handsome embattled tower ® to the west, finished with four crocketed pinnacles and Perpendicular belfry windows. The church contains a variety of architecture. The nave is divided from the side aisles by rows of pointed arches, mostly spring- ing from octagonal pillars ; one, however, is from a circular pillar with a foliated capital of plain but good E. K The other pillars have capitals of the toothed moulding, which moulding also runs round the arches. The windows of the nave are some E. E., some early Decorated, some being small, narrow, and sharp ; another is very simple and very early Decorated ; those at the eastern extremities of the aisles are a little more advanced in Decorated. The clere- story square and plain. The chancel is very elegant, having externally buttresses terminating in crocketed pinnacles of Decorated work. The buttresses very flat, and evidently Early English. The windows are of very noble size and somewhat singular, being square, and filled with Decorated tracery of most unusual but beautiful pattern. They, from their large size, throw a very fine light into the chancel. The church contains within Httle worthy of remark. In the south wall of the south aisle of the nave is a niche oma-
^ Tbe tower is Norman in its lower part, and the belfry story with Uttlenwat later.

mented with dog-tooth moulding. The south doorway is semi-circular^ and the door of great antiquity and very curious — being ornamented with several bars of iron in various forms, and still retaining an iron ring, which most probably was the sanctuary. There is no battlement to the church, only a plain cornice running along the top. On the churchyard wall lie a great number of ancient slabs, which probably were once in the church. There are no fewer than ten, mostly bearing crosses, but all so dreadfully mutilated that it is impossible to say what they might have been.
Cawood
Is a dirty small town consisting of narrow streets and straggling houses extending some way, which seems to indicate that it once extended much further, and was of greater importance than at present. It formerly contained the palace of the Archbishop of York, of which nothing now remains but a gateway, which is a fine reHc of antiquity of very good Perpendicular work. It is now so far degraded as to form an entrance to a farmyard.
The Church is a handsome and spacious structure, con- sisting of a nave with side aisles, and a chancel. The nave is divided from each aisle by a row of pointed arches — those on the north spring from octagonal pillars, those on the south from four slender clustered columns. The windows are mostly square and with three lights, many of them contain- ing fragments of rich painted glass. The chancel is divided from the nave by a pointed arch, and from a chapel on the north side by a wide semi-circular arch. There is an obtuse arch on the S. side of the chancel, which seems to have once led into another chapel. The east window is very good Per- pendicular. The font is octagonal and plain ; and there is a small square basin supported on a shaft and adorned with the toothed mouldings, which seems also to have been a font. There is a door on the south side of the chancel under a pointed arch apparently E. E. The tower stands at the S. W. comer, and is extremely elegant, and evidently of late Perpendicular workmanship. It is crowned by several lofty crocketed pinnacles. Over the belfry window are elegant corbels, and beneath it a very rich canopied niche. The
4S6 NOTES ON YORKSHIRE CHURCHES.
buttresses are octagonal and extend about half-way up the tower, and end in a very light and elegant battlement At the west end of the N. aisle is a Norman doorway, consisting of a lofly semi-circular arch supported on tall shafts with capitals verging very much towards Early English. Against the north wall of the chancel is the Monument of Arch- bishop Mountaine in a very poor state of repair.
WisTow Church.
From Cawood we went to Wistow, a village two miles distant^ containing nothing remarkable but its Churchy which is a very beautiful structure. Its external beauty is very great, both from the loftiness and elegance of the tower, and the lightness of the architecture of the rest of the church. It consists of a nave with side aisles and a chancel. The nave has a clerestory of square windows, and is crowned with several pinnacles. The tower is at the west end, and is very lofty and of Perpendicular work. The buttresses are adorned with ogee canopies ending in finials, and the tower is surmounted by four elegant crocketed pinnacles. It has on its west side a window of Perpendicular tracery in an arch almost semi-circular. Beneath the window is an ele- gant doorway formed by a Tudor arch, contained within a square, and surmounted by a dripstone, at the extremities of which are figures bearing shields. The spandrils are filled up with figures of angels. The nave is divided firom the north aisle by octagonal pillars, and from the south by circular ones, each supporting pointed arches. On the north side the windows are of very simple Decorated character ; on the south side square as at Cawood. The east window of the chancel is very singular from the arch being nearly semi- circular, and yet the tracery decidedly of the richest De- corated work. Many of the windows contain fragments of painted glass. The great pride and glory of the church is a very curious tomb on the north side of the chancel, which appears to be of about the middle of the 13th century, although it bears no precise date. It is now fixed in tbe wall. It represents the figure of a female in an attitude of devotion beneath a canopy cinquefoiled within, and crowned with foliage and finials ; on each side of it is a crocketed
NOTES ON YORKSHIRE CHURCHES. 437
pinnacle. The inscription is in the old Lombard character, and remains tolerably perfect, running thus —
" ^argari ifte BWt tct . . . merci. Fotus qe pa00e^ par tct, pxit^ pour Tame )e iOiargart/'
This tomb, from its high antiquity and good preservation, is worthy of particular attention. In the nave is the following inscription —
"Orate pro anima MarisB Beverley uxoris Thome Beverley unius filianim Gulielmi Hauksworth, que obiit vicesimo nono die Julii, anno domini 1612.''
In the north aisle on a flat stone are the figures of a cross, a battle-axe, and a sword.
Bolton Percy Church.
Prom Wistow (after having strictly charged the clerk's wife to undertake the washing and cleansing of the menu- ment) we proceeded back through Cawood and over the river Wharfe to Bolton Percy, which is an elegant village inter- spersed with trees, and contains a very beautiful church. The church externally is a very stately structure, and stands in an exceedingly neat churchyard. It consists of a nave ^ith collateral aisles, a chancel, and an elegant tower at the west end, surmounted by four handsome crocketed pinnacles. The church seems wholly of Perpendicular architecture. The chancel has buttresses terminating in crocketed pinnacles, and extremely large and beautiful Perpendicular windows. That to the east is of very grand proportions, and is filled with handsome painted glass. The windows in the nave are of a different character from those of the chancel, but are all alike, being of three lights. The nave is divided from its aisles by four lofty pointed arches on each side, springing firom octagonal pillars. The nave is of very broad and lofty proportions, and is very neatly pewed. The font has an elegant carved canopy. On the south side of the altar are three extremely beautiful stone stalls with cinquefoil heads under ogee canopies terminating in rich finials — the ceilings within are beautifully grained. In many parts of the church are remains of brasses, but none actually existing. There

ACASTER MaLBIS ChURCH.
March 26th. — Went to Acaster Malbis to see its church. This church is a very singular fabric, and exhibits a very picturesque and antique appearance from the east end, being completely overgrown with ivy. The church is in the form of a cross, having a low wooden tower and spire rising from the centre. The church within is dark, damp, and ill-pewed to a great degree, and in many parts is entirely without pavement. It contains no arches of any description ; the windows are all in square frames, mostly having three lights, but that to the east has seven lights, and is filled with painted glass of the most resplendent and rich colouring ; many of the other windows also contain most splendid painted glass. The font is plain and round, and supported on a circular pillar. In the south transept is an inscription in black letter, but without date. On the south side of the communion table is a recumbent figure of a knight, now completely green with damp ; he is cross-legged, and bears a shield charged with a chevron between three hinds' heads — said to be one of the Malbis family. On the exterior, the four gable ends of the church are ornamented with elegant crosses.^ The dimensions of this singular church are as follows : —

There is no very marked feature in this church by which the date of its erection can be ascertained. The windows seem most to resemble Perpendicular ; but the whole is so singular both in appearance and in formation, that it well

deserves minute attention. It is, however, in such a sad state of dirt and damp as is very discreditable in a place appointed for divine worship.
Stillingplebt Church.
March 28th. — Walked to Stillingfleet to see the church. This is a handsome structure consisting of a nave with north aisle, a chancel, and a chapel on the south side. The tower is at the west end, and crowned by four pinnacles. The north aisle continues its parallel with the chancel, and is divided from the body of the church by pointed arches, some springing from octagonal, others from circular pillars. The western arch springs from a plain filleted corbel. The whole of the nave seems E. E. Above the arches on the north side of the chancel runs a moulding, which seems to be a gradation from the toothed ornament to the four-leafed flower projecting. The windows of the nave and chancel seem mostly Perpendicular, being in square frames. The chapel on the south side is called the Moreby Chapel, from being formerly used as a burial place for that family, which is now extinct. The date of it is Edward III., and the windows are of simple but good Decorated tracery. It is divided from the nave by two pointed arches springing from octagon pillars, having capitals adorned with various gi*o- tesque figures of animals, &c. The date of this chapel may be conjectured from that of the tomb of the knight which it contains, and which is explained in a monument placed over iL This figure lies against the S. wall, and represents a knight in chain-armour, and cross-legged, bearing a shield charged with a bend on which are three mullets pierced, and in chief a label of 5 points. Above it is this inscription on a mural monument, which in a most satisfactory manner ex- plains both who the knight was and where he lived ; it runs thus —
" Here lyeth intered John Acclom of Moreby esq : and Elizabeth his wife daughter of Frances Palmes of Lyndley esq : who had issue, Sir W* Aoclom Knight «k Mark Acclom now living «k 2 daughters yt dyed young. Y« said John dyed the 24^^ Decemb : Ano Dom. 1611 in the true Huth of Christ being both auntient by descent as may appear by the matches in the monument orderly & tiiily impaled ; one of whose aimoestiCWB S' W"* Acclom Knight (44 K. £dw. iii.) married the daughter

and heir of Moreby of Moreby whose auntient Monument here nnder lyeth ; and whose sonne Sir W™ Acclom Knt who caused this Monument to be erected for his father A® Dni 1613, married Elizabeth eldest daughter of Sir Thomas Dawnay of Sessay Knight."
The monument is adorned by several coats of aims, some of which are defaced ; one, however, is tolerably perfect, and contains six quarterings.
1. Gules, a maunch argent between an orle of cinquefoila of the 2d. (Acclom).^^
2. Argent on a bend azure 3 mullets pierced or — ^as on the knight^s shield (Moreby).
3. Party p"" chevron embattled, sable and argent, 3 stags' heads counterchanged (Cawood).^®
4. Ermine, on a chevron gules 3 fleur-de-lys or (Sailby).
5. Argent, a cross voided gules.
6. Azure, 3 crescents or.
From this it will appear that the figure is that of a Moreby of Moreby, whose daughter married, in the 44th of Edward III., Sir William Acclom. He must therefore have lived about the beginning of Edward III.'s reign, and most probably was the founder of this chapel.
In this chapel are ^ many slabs charged with ornamented crosses. On the west side is a small circular window con- taining a trefoil, but now it is stopped up.
The south doorway ^^ of this church is a most beautiful and perfect Norman specimen. It is very lofty, and in excellent preservation. It contains five ranges of mouldings supported on shafts which have rude foliated capitals, some ornamented with grotesque heads, &c. The first range of moulding is composed of figures. The second has heads of animals with beaks. The third and fourth are chevron mouldings. The fifth represents various figures of beasts.
The north door is small and semi-circular, and apparently of very late Norman work. The exterior moulding is the same as that which runs round the arches in the chancel ; the interior is chevron-wise, and between the chevrons are round balls variously worked, and probably representing fruit. Externally, beneath the windows of the chancel on the

Hemingbrough Church.
April 5th. — Went a very pleasant expedition in the phaeton ; the day being beautiful added very much to the pleasure of the excursion, which was to take in several very beautiful things. We went first of all through Skip with over moorish and bleak country to Hemingbrough, the spire of whose church forms a magnificent object in the surrounding country. We visited the church, which is a very spacious and handsome structure built in the form of a cross, and consisting of a nave with collateral aisles, a north and south transept, and chancel with a chapel on each side. The tower rises from the centre, and is sup- ported on lofty pointed arches springing from clustered columns. The tower is large but low, but is surmounted by a very lofty, well-proportioned, stone spire. The church exhibits various specimens of architecture. The nave is divided from its aisles on either side by four arches ; tboso two to the west are pointed, and spring from circular columns ; the two to the east are semi-circular, and there is one circular pillar, and another plain square pier. Above these arches is a clerestory of plain square windows. The great west window is of Perpendicular tracery ; most of the other windows in the nave are flat-headed, and probably Perpendicular. It may be observed that s<|uare-headed windows are unusually common in this part of Yorkshire. The north transept is divided from a very small aisle on the west by pointed arches springing from a round pillar; a narrow pointed arch divides it from the chapel on the north side of the chancel. That chapel contains the alabaster figure of a skeleton in a shroud in very good preservation. There is also against the eastern wall a pedestal ornamented with an embattled moulding and flowers (of Perpendicular work), which probably was an altar. The north transept has a large perpendicular window, now nearly stopped up. The south transept has also a very large Perpendicular window ; but in the clerestory on the west side is one of early Decorated work, and two small lancet ones, which are evidently Early English.
The diancel has the ancient stalls remaining, which prove
442 NOTES ON YORKSHIRE CHURCHES.
this church to have once had a chapter, but they are in a very sad, ruinous condition.
There are also vestiges of many brasses, but unfortunately all destroyed. The east window is large, and consists of six lights, and is probably E. E., from its simplicity ; the lights are trefoiled. The window on the north-east side is extremely early Decorated, if that term can at all be appli- cable to so plain a thing. The chancel is divided from the south chapel by very flat Tudor arches, springing from piers formed of alternate shafts and hollows ; the shafts have extremely rich foliated capitals. The chapel is enclosed by elegant wooden screen work. It is evidently very late Per- pendicular. The windows have very flat heads, and the battlement is pierced and adorned with trefoils, but is much injured in some parts, which is much to be regretted, as it is so extremely elegant. It is crowned by crocketed pinnacles.
The font stands in the western portion of the nave, and is an elegant Norman specimen, being large and round, and moulded with a range of semi-circular arches. It resembles that in St. Helen's Church in York. At the west end is a clumsy gallery with an organ. The church is ill-pewed, and requires some repaii*s.
Externally, be it remarked that the chancel and transepts have neither parapet nor battlement, although the side aisles have pinnacles, which may be a much later addition. The buttress to the transept is flat, and evidently E. £. Beneath the battlement of the tower is a cornice moulded with a range of knobs running all round.

it must be confessed, is a very splendid structure. This splendid edifice consists at present of a nave with side aisles, a S. porch and school-house S. of the nave, a transept, and a choir now in ruins, which has on its north side a beautiful chapter-house, now unroofed. The tower stands in the centre, rising from lofty pointed arches which rest on clus- tered columns. The tower is very lofty, and forms a very noble and conspicuous object in the surrounding low country. The remains of the choir, especially the eastern front, indi- cate it to have been of extreme richness and Decorated work. The window is of enormous size, but unfortunately has lost the whole of its tracery. The windows whose tracery remains are all Decorated. The pillars and arches are all down, and the whole area of the choir without pave- ment ; it is open to the sky, the grass grows within its walls, and it is now used as a part of the churchyard. Several ancient capitals and fragments of pillars strew the ground. There is one flat stone with the figure of a cross, and thus inscribed —
11
Hio jacet Joh.
The entrance to the chapter-house is on the north side of the choir, and is approached by a vestibule, which communi- cates with the choir by an ogee arch, flowered and cinque- foiled, on each side of which is a canopied niche. The vesti- bule has an elegant groined roof. The chapter-house is of early and very beautiful Perpendicular, and was built at the end of the 14th century by Bishop Skirlaw. Its form is octagonal. Its windows are of very delicate Perpendicular tracery, and the stalls are divided from each other by very slender clustered shafts with foliated capitals, terminating in canopies and rich finials. The backs of the stalls are all richly ornamented with pannelling filled with quatrefoils. The diameter of this elegant chapter-house is 25ft. The windows externally have ogee canopies.
The transept has a beautiful Decorated window at each end, and the doors beneath those windows externally are of elegant early Decorated work, having shafts with foliated capitals. In the north transept is a stone with a cross, said to be the tomb of Bishop Skirlaw, who died 1405. The great arches supporting the tower are very noble, and spring from clustered columns. Beneath the eastern arch is the old
444 NOTES ON YORKSHIRE CHURCHES.
organ screen, which is a ver^' beautiful Perpendicular work,; Iiaving rich canopied niches with statues. On the eastern side of the south transept is the Saltmarsh Chapel, whichr contains two ancient tombs. One under an ogee canopy is, an altar tomb, on which are the recumbent figures of a man and woman. The arms are — quarterly, in first quarter a fleur-de-lys. The colours are of course efiaced. The other tomb is to one of the Saltmarshes of Saltmarsh, and is an altar tomb, elegantly pannelled with figures in its basement. It bears the recumbent figure of a knight in chain armour, bearing a shield charged with the arms of Saltmarsh.
The great tower is Perpendicular, and probably of the same period with the chapter-house. It rises to a great, height and forms a fine object in the surrounding low country.
The nave is now fitted up for divine service, and is divided from its aisles by six lofty pointed arches springing from clustered columns. Above is a very plain and unorpamented clerestory, ^^ consisting of Decorated windows within a double arch. The nave is well pewed, but the altar piece is in bad taste, there being a painted representation of red curtains, which have a very trifling appearance in so rich and vener- able a church. The great west window is hidden very much by an unseemly gallery and organ. The windows in the nave are all Decorated. The west front is very magnificent, and somewhat resembles the east end of Selby Church. The great window has fine Decorated tracery, and is beneath a rich triangular canopy. The west doorway is very deeply moulded, and has fine foliated shafts. On the buttresses are rich canopies, beneath which are images. This front ia adorned with elegant hexagonal turrets crowned by pyra- midical pinnacles richly crocketed. Above the clerestory is a cornice of grotesque heads running round the whole of the church, This appears more like E. £.

snve some E. E. indications in the transept and the noble Perpendicular tower.
The latter is of great height, and has a decided character ; has two stories above the roof ; the lower has on each face double windows of unusual length, with three transoms ; the upper has also double windows, but is shorter. The parapet is embattled, but with vanes only at the angles, not pinnacles. The buttresses are shallow, and there is no ornamental panncUing, the lower windows being the chief ornament.
The tower is open to the interior to a considerable height, and the bells rung from galleries. The four great arcades below are of earlier date, yet of more advanced Edwardian than the arcades of the nave.
There is a building on the N. of the western portion of the nave called the school house, occupying two bays, erected c. 1547, of late Perpendicular work, and adjoining this on the east is the fine porch.
Some restoration has been effected, by the removal of the galleries in the nave, and the forming of uniform low seats. The organ occupies the west end of the S. aisle, slightly raised. The fine stone screen which separated the choir and standing in the W. arch of the tower, now forms a reredos ; this stone screen is carried also across the aisles.
We proceeded from Howden to Booth Ferry, the country continuing extremely flat and ugly during the whole way. From Booth Ferry Inn we went on over very flat country to Goole, a place which is likely to become a very important mercantile town, and is said to be likely to rival Hull. A very large inn is building there, and extensive docks are being made. From thence we went in order to see the marsh land now undergoing the wonderful operation called warping, which consists of letting the sea water over the waste and marsh land (which is very extensive) by means of a canal, which will be the means of raising to a great value laud which before was worth nothing. We were very for- tunate in arriving just in time to see the tide turn, and the great rush of water through the flood gates at the opening of the canal was a very imposing and gratifying sight.

Snaith Church.
April 6th. — ^Left Booth Ferry and proceeded through the village of Armyn to RawcliflFe, a large respectable village with a handsome green ; from thence to Snaith, passing Cowick Park (Lord Downe's). Snaith contains nothing re- markable but its church, which is a very spacious and hand- some structure. It consists of a long nave with side aisles, and a chancel with chapels. At the west end is a large but somewhat low tower, surmounted most unworthily by a wooden cupola. The tower has several long lancet windows, with a cornice of heads, and a doorway with shafts and foliated capitals. The character of the nave is Perpendicular. It is of noble dimensions, and neatly pewed. It is divided from the aisles by rows of six pointed arches springing from octagon pillars. Above is a clerestory of Perpendicular windows. The other windows are many of them square. The ceiling is of wood and pannelled. At the west end is a neat gallery with a small organ. The whole church exter- nally is embattled and adorned with pinnacles. The chancel has a very beautiful Decorated east window. The chapel north of the chancel contains monuments to the Stapletons ; that on the south is the burial place of the Dawnays of Cowick, of which family Lord Downe is now the head. It is hung with old gauntlete, helmets, &c., and contains two altar tombs, one of which is without an inscription. The other is thus inscribed —
" Hio jacent Radolphus Aome et Margareta uxor ejus una filiarum Johaunis Dawnay armigeri qui obiei-unt nono die mensis Maii Anno domini mcccclxxxvi quorum animis parcet deus. Amen."

Brayton Church.
From Snaith, through Carleton, to Brayton. The church of Brayton is a handsome structure, consisting of a nave with aisles, and a chancel. At the west end is a square tower, from which rises an octagon turret, which is surmounted by a stone spire. The tower is particularly worthy of observa- tion, being very pure Norman work. It is of rather small dimensions, and has no buttress whatever. It has a belfry window, consisting of one large semicircular arch, containing within it two smaller ones, springing from a central shaft with a foliated capital. Over the belfry window, and con- tinued entirely round the tower, runs a billet moulding, an ornament purely Norman. Immediately beneath the battle- ment (which is probably of later date) is a cornice of heads. On the west side is a small, narrow, round-headed light. The octagon and the spire seem to be of Perpendicular period. The south doorway is also an elegant Norman specimen, being semicircular, and ornamented with four ranges of mouldings resting on shafts with foliated capitals. The first range of moulding is composed of heads of animals with tongues or beaks — a very common ornament in this country. The second exhibits a variety of medallions contain- ing various devices. The third is the common chevron mould- ing. The fourth has had its ornaments entirely destroyed. The nave is divided from the aisles by pointed arches, which spring from octagon pillars, and from the tower by a semi- circular arch springing from shafts. The windows of the nave and of the clerestory are square-headed. The font is plain and circular. The chancel is divided from the nave by a semicircular arch springing from shafts, and adorned with the zigzag moulding. There is also an out- ward moulding of round knobs, such as occur in the north door of Stillingfleety &c. The windows of the chancel are simple and very early Decorated, consisting only of two lights, with a circle containing a quatrefoil between them. That to the east is of less simple pattern, and very elegant. Many of them contain fragments of painted glass. On the floor are vestiges of very fine brasses, now alas, destroyed. There is also an altar tomb with recumbent male and female figores, probably of the 16th century. The inscription is

very much mutilated, so that the following is all that can be decyphered without a thorough washing and cleansing —
** Hie jacet Dominus Georgius Darcie Miles et domina Dorothea uxor sua filia ac sola hcsres Johnis Melton, militis qui obiit xxiiL die Septem- bris, anno Dfii 1558, quorum alabus ppitietur Deus. Amen."
The length of the church is about 103 feet; the chancel being 55 feet, the nave 47^ feet in length.
From Bray ton we proceeded to Selby, from which it is only a mile distant, and after having made some further examination of its church, returned to Escrick.
Holme Church.
Api^il I2th. — Set off betimes to make the port of Beverley and Hull. Proceeding through Skipwith and Bubwith, over country mostly dreary, but in the villages cheered by trees in some degree, we arrived at Holme on Spalding Moor, a long village with the church situated on a very lofty hill, and forming a very conspicuous object. The tower of the church seems good Perpendicular, but the pinnacles broken ; the body of the church seemed to be most vilely repaired with brick.
Market Weighton Church.
From thence, over black country, to Market Weighton, a small neat town. The church is an uninteresting fabric, having a tower with late Norman work ; the upper part is rebuilt with brick. The church consists of a nave divided from its aisles by pointed arches springing from octagonal pillars, and a chancel with N. aisle. There is a clerestory of Perpendicular windows, and all the other windows are of ordinary Perpendicular work. The chancel has round pillai-s with pointed arches. At the west end is a neat gallery and organ. The church is small but commodiously pewed.
1864. — There are paiapets to each part of the church. The chancel arch resembles that from the tower to the nave. The chancel has two E. E. pointed arches on circular columns dividing the N. aisle. On the S. of the chancel are two plain rude-pointed sedilia. The organ now in the chancel, which is stalled. There is a gallery in the north aisle.
NOTES ON YORKSHIRE CHURCHES. 449
The nave is of three bays beyond the tower. The porch modern. The S. doorway pointed on octagonal corbels.
The tower is engaged in the west end of the aisles, a common arrangement in this neighbourhood. The N. and S. walls are solid ; the arch to the nave pointed, on octagonal corbels. The tower has no buttresses, but three string courses. On the W. a single lancet; and there are two heights of double E. E. windows with shafts. The belfry story cased in brick. The N. aisle has two tiers of windows of ordinary character of two lights, the upper have no foliation.
Beverley.
From Market Weighton the country is bleak and bare, and commanding extensive views over the wolds. However, on approaching the village of Bishop's Burton it improves considerably. The village is beautifully embosomed in trees, and has a rural appearance. The church seems good E. E., but we were unable to examine it. The town of Beverley is entered by an ancient gateway, and consists of some very wide and good streets abounding in large and superior houses. There are two large areas or squares where the markets are held. Perhaps no town can boast of having two such churches as Beverley. The Minster is quite unrivalled as a parish church, and surpasses many of the cathedrals in beauty.
St. Mary's Church.
St. Mary's Church is also a very spacious and noble church, such as is rarely to bo met with in most towns, but from having so very rich and splendid a neighbour in the Minster, it loses much of that magnificence which would greatly distinguish it were it the only church in the town. It is built in the form of a cross, with a handsome tower of Perpendicular work, crowned with eight crocketed pinnacles rising from the centre. The tower has an upper window of good Perpendicular. Beneath the large upper windows are singular windows in circular frames. They are more of singular than of elegant design. The west iront of this church is very elegant. The centre is embattled, and is flanked by two lofty octagon turrets pierced at the top, and richly adorned with canopies. The great window is of Per-

pendicular work, and beneath it is a very rich doorway of Decorated work, between two canopied niches. It consists of seven ranges of mouldings, one consisting of cusps, another of heads, others of large flowers.** The aisles at the west ends have the beautiful open work, wavy parapet, and crocketed pinnacles at the extremities. The windows are Perpendicular ; as they also are throughout the greater part of the nave, excepting some which seem more like Decorated but inelegant workmanship.
Taking a survey of the church externally, we next coroe to the north-west doorway, which is of plain E. E. work, with simple shafts. We next come to the north transept, which has a Perpendicular clerestory, but the great north window is Decorated. Beneath this window is a beautiful doorway also Decorated, beneath an ogee arch richly worked with crockets and finials. It contains one range of moulding, in which are represented tigers' heads, and square four-leaved flowers, set with considerable intervals between them. The moulding is very deep. We next arrive at a series of chapels placed on the north side of the choir. They exhibit most beautiful Decorated windows ; there is a story over them having small square Perpendicular windows ; above them there is no battlement, but a cornice of pierced quatre- foils runs along the top, which is ornamented with crocketed pinnacles. The great east window is large and fine Perpen- dicular, but the turrets which adorn the front, and which terminate in crocketed hexagonal pinnacles, are evidently Decorated. The windows on the south side of the choir appear to be very late Decorated, but the clerestory is Per- pendicular. At the extremity of the south end of the transept is a good Decorated window, and beneath it a Decorated doorway resembling that in the north transept, only flanked by crocketed pinnacles. Proceeding along the south aisle, we come to the extremely elegant south porch, which is embattled, and has buttresses terminating in crocketed pinnacles. The windows are small and narrow, consisting of single mullion and two lights, they are evi- dently early Decorated, and between them are small pierced circles containing quatrefoils. The ceiling within the porch is exquisitely groined with stone, and has foliated bosses ;
^* This door has slender shafts with foliated capitals, and some very rich ero^eti found the exterior moulding.

the ribs spring from shafts with very elegant foUated capitals. The doorway to the church seems much earlier than those of the transepts, although in a great measure resembling them ; the shafts with foliated capitals are more like E. E. than Decorated, and one of the mouldings is adorned with the common E. E. toothed ornament. On each side of it is a rich canopied niche. There is also a very rich canopy of a niche above the door. The wall of this part of the church seems to be of Norman origin, as appears from there being within the church above the S. W, door, the semi- circular head of a Norman doorway, adorned both with the zigzag and network moulding. In all its parts this valuable church is curious, and perhaps displays as much variety in its architecture as any church in tlie North. It is also highly instinictive in showing the gradations from pure E. E. to quite late Perpendicular. It is throughout a singular mix- ture of styles.
The nave seems chiefly of Perpendicular work. It is divided from its side aisles by six pointed arches supported on piers, round which are set four shafts at short intervals. Above the spring of each arch, and on the main piers, are corbels representing human figures, each with scrolls on which are inscriptions. Between each arch is pannel work formed with quatrefoils. Above is a clerestory of Perpen- dicular windows, which terminate in pannel work, whicii seems never to have been finished. The label of each clere- story window has a corbel at its extremity, representing a figure playing on a musical instrument (each figure having a different instrument). The pannelling of the ceiling is elegant, being adorned with bosses representing various figures. The ceiling is painted blue. Beneath the great west window are two rich canopied niches. The nave is filled with pews and galleries, being the only part of the church devoted to the performance of divine service. At the east end is an organ in a large gallery. At the western extremity of the north aisle is a splendid marble font of Perpendicular work, of an octagonal form, and ornamented gorgeously with quatrefoils, finials, &c. Rpund the upper ledge is this inscription in black letter —

452 KOTES ON YORKSHIRE CHURCHES.
Around a pew under the organ gallery is some good carving with an inscription, in which prayer is sought for the souls of those persons who were killed by the falling in of the roof of the church in 1525. This is an important circumstance, as it fixes the date of the beautiful pannelled ceiling, and possibly other parts of the church were built at that time in imitation of an earlier style.
The interior of the transept has some E. E. features, the arches which divide it from the chapels on the east, being moulded with the E. E. dog-tooth. The great windows at the extremities are Decorated, and the clerestory Perpendicular. The roof resembles that of the nave. The arches which suppoi-t the tower are very lofly and noble, and above them there is a profusion of the Tudor flower. There are some vestiges of very fine brasses, but in common with most others in this part of the country, they have been destroyed. The entrance to the choir is by a carved screen of the same date as the carving in the jiew in the nave. Above it there appears to be a part of the ancient roof left, which still retains its gilding. The choir is left completely open, and has a very fine effect. It exhibits a mixture of Decorated and Perpendicular woik. It is divided from either aisle by five pointed arches, springing from strong clustered columns. The clerestory is Perpendicular, and also the windows on the south side, and the great east window. The north side is much richer than the south. Between two of the arches a little above their spring is a most elegant niche, with splendid canopy wrought with crockets and finials. Immediately under the clerestory is a cornice of buds or knobs. All this side appears Decorated. The eastern portion of the north aisle has a splendid stone- groined roof, the ribs of which are continued down the three eastern piers of the choir, with foliated capitals. The windows also are of most exquisite Decorated tracery. On the north side of this aisle or chapel is an elegant doorway, formed under an ogee arch, having a rich finial and corbels, and supported by banded shafts. Above this door is a beautiful Decorated window, not filled with glass, but com- municating with another small chapel, which has also most beautiful Decorated windows, and groined ceiling with figures as bosses. From thence is a communication with another chapel, part of which is now the vestry. This chapel is an

addition to the north aisle of the nave, and has a communica- tion with the transept by two pointed arches with E. E. tooth moulding. Its windows are very early Decorated, and its ceiling is pannelled, and most beautifully coloured with a dark rich blue, and covered with gilt stars to imitate the starry sky. On a beam in it is this inscription in black letter —

The Perpendicular tracery of the east window seems of an early period. The ceiling of the choir is pannelled, and contains paintings of several of the Saxon and English kings, all of whom have scrolls with inscriptions, but at too great a height to be made out accurately. The ceiling of the north aisle is of a most rich blue with gilt stars. The altar piece is Grecian, but not of so enormous a size as in many of the neighbouring churches. The dimensions of this beautiful church are these —

The Minster.
The splendid Minster demands the next attention. In magnificence it surpasses many cathedrals, and in extent equals some. It is dedicated to St. John of Beverley, formerly Bishop of York. The plan of the church is a double cross, it having a large transept about the centre, and a smaller one in the eastern part. The nave and choir have side aisles, as also has the greater transept. Behind the altar is a chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary. The central tower has never been finished, and consequently causes a small defect in the exterior. The west front is flanked by two very handsome and lofty towers. The chief external beauty is the west front, owing to the plain but chaste style of the Early English not being so showy in exteriors. The whole is exceedingly lofty. Each western transept is adorned with hexagon turrets, and has tvjo llex^ ol ^vcAQ^'a.
454 NOTES ON YORKSHIBE CHURCHES.
above the internal groining of the roof; one of these windows on each side is of a beautiful circular form, with simple but elegant tracery, and somewhat resembling that in the chapel of the Nine Altars in Durham Cathedral. The eastern transept have also windows which are placed above the groining of the roof. The greater part of the windows in the transepts and choir are purely E. E., being long, narrow, and pointed. They are mostly adorned both within and without with that genuine E. E. ornament, the toothed moulding. The exterior of the building is enriched very much by the arched moulding which runs between the windows. The buttresses are adorned with niches, having rich canopies and finials ; and throughout the building, the flying buttresses which spring from the clerestory to the other buttresses are very magnificent. The windows in the nave are mostly Decorated and Perpendicular, and have ex- ternally shafts with foliated capitals.
On the south-west corner of the building there are the remains of octagonal piers, which appear to have anciently supported the roof of a crypt. The west front is of the richest Perpendicular work. It is flanked by two highly ornamented towers, and has two beautiful ogee door- ways, especially that in the centre, which is richly adorned with crockets, and has a beautiful finial rising above the cill of the great window,'^ and thereby forming an elegant feature from the nave internally. There are also some rich niches, and the buttresses are adorned with elegant canopies, &c. The whole is almost unrivalled in ornament, being at the same time very chaste, and by no means overloaded. The windows are Perpendicular, and the central one very noble and large. ^
On the north-west side of the nave is a very elegant Deco- rated doorway with an ogee canopy, within a porch, which appears to be Perpendicular, being rich in pannels and niches. There are two doors, one at the extremity of each western transept, which are of singular form, and somewhat resemble one in the north transept of York Minster, having a very flat arch, moulded deeply, and having the E. E. toothed ornament, and supported by slender pillars of Purbeck marble with foliated capitals. There is an elegant cornice with a waved

line, but not pierced, that runs along the top of a great pai-t of the structure. Over the windows in the north aisle of the nave externally are carved groups of figures which have a pleasing effect. The north transept has some circular windows of very singular patterns.
We now proceed to the interior of the Minster.
The Nave. — From its great length and loftiness has a very magnificent appearance. It appears to be of a period somewhat later than the eastern portion of the church from the quantity of later work which it exhibits. It is divided from its side aisles by eleven pointed arches on either side, which spring from clustered columns, every alternate one of which has a foliated capital, intermixed with representations of heads, &c. Above these arches is a triforium or gallery of a very elegant design. It is formed of a double set of arches one within the other. The outward arches are tre- foiled, adorned with toothed ornament, and deeply moulded, and are supported on Purbeck marble shafts with foliated capitals. The inward arches are lower, and pointed, spring- ing also from Purbeck marble shafts, but the capitals are plain and circular. The pierced trefoil occurs often in this triforium. Between the springs of each arch of the nave is a circular slender shaft terminating in a round filleted bracket; when it reaches the triforium it is filleted, and divides itself into three very slender shafts, from which springs the groining of the roof, which is very simple but yet elegant. The clerestory has Decorated windows, which open to the nave by means of a high and wide arch with a somewhat singular head, it being without much curvature, and yet not very sharp, but of great width. This wide arch rests on slender shafts, and on either side of it is a small pointed arch springing also from slender shafls.
In the aisles the ribs of the groining of the roof are con- tinued down between the windows in clusters of slender shafls with most rich foliated capitals. The west end of the nave has a rich Perpendicular door with ogee canopy and finial. That end is profusely ornamented with paimels and canopied niches. Beneath the windows of the nave (and indeed continued round the whole church beneath its windows excepting a part of the north aisle of the nave) runs a moulding of trefoiled arches moulded with the toothed ornament, and resting on slender shafts with foliated capitals.
456 NOTES ON YORKSHIKE CHURCHES.
•
The north aisle of the nave has beneath its windows a much later ornament, consisting of small arches with ogee heads and finials. The beauty of the nave is at present much impaired by the pews which are placed in the middle aisle, as well as Doric galleries inserted between the pillars. It is, however, to be hoped that these horrible and discordant pieces of furniture are to be removed shortly, and the choir litted up for divine service in a style more suitable to the style of this magnificent structure. The great arches sup- porting the central tower are very lofty and adorned with the toothed moulding.
The Transept. — The western or great transept is chiefly beautiful for its uniformity as well as for its breadth, it con- sisting of three aisles, as the nave and choir. Of this there are not many examples in the kingdom. The arches which divide the aisles are similar to those in the nave. The tri- forium is also exactly similar, and the shafts supporting the groining of the roof. The clerestory, however, differs materially. It consists of one E. E. lancet window within a pointed arch with toothed moulding, and slender shafts with round projecting capitals. On either side of this central arch are two narrow arches also springing from slender shafts with capitals as the others, and gradually diminishing in height. The lower windows in the aisles are also lancet^ and have a lancet arch, and with slender shafts on either side of them. The ribs of the groined roof of the aisles are con- tinued down between the windows in clusters of plain shafts. The roof of the aisles has no bosses, which that of the centre has. The windows at the north and south extremities are triple and lancet, contained within lancet arches resting on slender shafts.
Between the choir and the nave is a large and elaborate screen of stone, which certainly has a very good eflect when viewed at a distance, but on approaching it the horrid mixture of Italian work with Gothic, of festoons of flowers, canopied niches, figures with harps, arches both pointed and semicircular, &c., becomes too evident, and at once stamps this gorgeous screen the production of corrupt taste, and a false idea of magnificence. Above it rises the organ, a very large instrument, in decorations very well assimilating with the screen on which it is placed. Passing under the semi- circular arch of the screen we enter —
NOTES OX YORKSHIRE CHURCHES. 437
The Choh\ which has a very noble appearance both from the richness of the stall work, the beautiful painted east window, and the handsome marble pavement. The arches which divide it from the aisles, the triforium, and clerestory exactly resemble those of the transept. The ancient altar screen, which before was completely hidden by a more modern Italian wooden screen, is now undergoing a complete restoration, and the Italian one is to be removed. The ancient stone screen was formerly in front gorgeously painted and gilt, as may appear from the battered remains of that front which still are extant. The back of it is still in good preservation, but disfigured by some hideous modern monuments which are inserted in it. It is of highly enriched Decorated work, and contains nearly every ornament which that splendid style of architecture is wont to exhibit ; and it may be hoped, that in the course of a short time, both its fronts may be completely restored to their ancient splendour. The altar table is of marble, and within handsome gilt rails.
The smaller or Eastern Transept — This transept has at each end an eastern aisle, from which it is divided by elegant pointed arches, springing from most elegant but plain clus- tered columns. It has triforium and clerestory as the western transept, and windows also resembling those of the western transept.
This transept is divided from the choir by very lofty pointed arches springing from piers veiy richly adorned with E. E. decorations — being charged with numerous small and slender shafts of Purbeck marble, some of them filleted and ending in circular brackets ; others supporting small arches, and having foliated capitals. The tout ensemble has a very rich effect. The Purbeck marble shafts throughout nearly the whole building are left in their original dark blue colour, which contrasted with the light colour of the remainder of the building has an effect perhaps not altogether pleasing.
Behind the altar is the Lady Chapel, which is small, and contains nothing but the great east window, which is rich Perpendicular, and is entirely filled with rich painted glass, collected from the other windows in the church. This window is divided into two parts by a cross transom richly ornamented with quatrefoils, &c., on which there runs a gallery. The window has nine lights.

There is a small chapel on the north side of the Lady Chapel, which appears entirely Perpendicular, and contains a Perpendicular altar tomb, said to be to the fifth Earl of Northumberland.
There is a most exquisite Decorated monument on the north of the altar, loaded with foliage, fruit, roses, crockets, finials, and indeed every ornament that can be imagined. ]t is said to be to a Lady Percy. It is certainly one of the richest in the kingdom, if not quite so.
In the nave there is also a rich Decorated tomb between two pillars to two sisters of the name of Harrison, who were benefactors to the corporation, but the inscription is gone. The north transept contains an altar tomb of good work, but with no inscription.
There is a brass plate fixed to a pillar in the choir in black letter, with some italic characters, bearing the date 1599.

There are certain funds which the corporation have the care of for the repairs of this stately fabric, and the manner in which they are at present laid out reflects great credit on the corporation. Too much praise cannot be given to tlie mason who is employed, for the excellent work he has exe- cuted exactly after the model of the old work, and for not endeavouring to invent any new style, which is too often the case in modern masons and architects.
From Beverley we went through flat ugly country to the large mercantile town of Hull, which is spreading out with its buildings in every direction, and contains some very handsome new streets. The town contains six churches, all modern structures excepting those of the Holy Trinity and St, Mary.
Holy Trinity, Hull.
Trinity Church is one of the most spacious parish churches in England. It is built in the form of a cross with a tower in the centre. The nave and tower seem to be Perpendicular, the transept and choir very good Decorated, and east front which presents itself to the street is very noble, having a fine Decorated window, and flanked by handsome crocketed pin- nacles. It is singular that this church should be built of brick, but it will easily appear on examhiing the transepts, the stucco of which is beginning to wear away, and disclose the brick beneath them. Some modern buildings used fov

vestry and library adjoiu the south aisle of the choir. The nave is the only part appropriated to divine service, and only a part of that, there being an open space from the west end to the third arch going towards the east. The remaining space is however suflScient, and is filled so very thickly with pews and galleries as to accommodate nearly 3000 souls. In the western gallery is a very large organ, said to be a line instrument. The nave is divided from its aisles by lofty pointed arches springing from elegant and light piers, formed by clustered shafts witli alternate hollows. The capitals represent heads, &c. Each arch has its outward moulding terminatini; in a corbel, representing a figure playing on some musical instrument. This device is very common in churches in this neighbourhood. The windows, including the clerestory, are all Perpendicular. The font stands in the portion west of the organ, and is a very noble specimen, being a polygon standing on a circular pillar, and supported by eight small shafts. It is richly ornamented with crocketed canopies, &c. The transept has a fine Decorated window at each extremity. In the south tran- sept beneath an arch is the recumbent figure of a female (said to be Margaret Danas) ; this was lately found on open- ing the wall. Near it are three trefoiled arches communi- cating with the choir. The choir is left completely open, and has a handsome efiect from the lightness of its pillars. The east window is, however, much hidden by a huge un- seemly altar piece. On the south side is a very rich Decorated tomb, representing a recumbent male and female figure, beneath a ricli ogee canopy, decorated internally with seven cusps, and terminating in a singularly rich finial. There is a good carved wooden screen between the transept and choir. The tower rises from lofty pointed arches springing from clustered columns, and is a very lofty and elegant Perpendicular specimen. It has an open canopied parapet of small arches ^^ (common in this country), and is crowned with pinnacles. The belfry windows have ogee canopies, which rise above the parapet at the top of the tower.

1848. — The nave with its circles and the tower are of excellent Perpendicular work, with very light piers, and numerous windows. The choir and transepts are of very good advanced Decorated work, and the walls of brick with stone facing. In the recent restoration the brick work has been cleaned and laid bare, and furnishes a curious and early specimen of the kind.
In the recent restoration great improvement has been effected. The whole of the piers and galleries have been removed, and the nave fitted with neat open benches, and a fine stone pulpit. The organ is placed on the floor at the west end, the western entrance being formed through it. The noble chancel is now laid open to the nave, with only a light screen of division fixed at the E. end of the nave. But on account of its large size and distance from the nave, it is scarcely possible to read the Communion Service from the altar. The choral service is adopted, and the surpliced choir stationed on each side of the nave, so as to chant antiphonally. The lessons are read from an eagle lectern. The effect looking down the magnificent nave into the chancel is extremely grand.
The nave is of eight bays, with beautiful and lofty arches, upon light piers. The west window is a very large one of nine lights ; those at the W. of the aisles have seven ; the other windows — which are set unusually close to each other and let in a flood of light, which should be corrected by stained glass — have five. The tracery of these windows is very uniform in character. The clerestory windows are set in pairs, and, as usual in the district, very closely. Each window of three lights. The ceiling of the nave is flat, pannelled. The E. responds in the nave are plain without capitals, painted blue with gilding.
The transepts are short in proportion to the other parts of the church, and together with the chancel are of good advanced Decorated work. The arches opening from them to the aisles of the nave have no capitals. The great windows of the transepts are fine Decorated, with flowing tracery of six lights.
The chancel is magnificent, and is of five bays, the aisles

being continued to the east end. The arches and piers are extremely elegant ; the piers clustered and of great light- ness. The clerestory windows are in pairs as in the nave, but the whole chancel is uniformly Decorated. The windows of the chancel aisles are of five lights, and set closely as those of the nave. The east window has seren lights, filled with stained glass. There is in the S. aisle, near its eastern end, a large enriched recess containing a piscina with rose orifice ; the arch somewhat depressed.
There is a good porch at the end of the S. transept
The stone is very white, and the nave aisles embattled.
April, 1872. — The chancel is undergoing restoration and refitting. The organ is now in the S. transept.
The arcades of the nave (eight bays) are very noble ; the arches very tall and finely shaped.
The aisle windows and those of the clerestory are very closely set, the latter in pairs.
The aisle windows are very large, and there is a baldness and poverty of eflFect from the want of finer moulding or ornamental work about them.
The stone masonry of the nave is remarkably fine ; the stone of the whitest and most beautiful quality. The but- tresses are crowned with crocketed pinnacles. The windows are all uniform of five lights on the side, seven at W. of the aisles, and eight at W. of the nave.
St. Mary's, Hull.
St. Mary's Church consists of a body with side aisles, from which it is divided by sharp pointed arches springing from clustered columns with foliated capitals. The windows and clerestory are late Perpendicular. The tower and part of the east end are brick, and of very bad Italian work. The church is neatly fitted up with pews and galleries, and has an organ at the west end.
1867. — St. Mary's has been much improved, en- larged, and generally altered since the first account was made of it. It consisted originally of a nave and chancel, each with N. and S. aisles, and a western tower which was rebuilt in brick in 1696 ; and the chancel has been muti- lated and shabbily reconstructed in similar material about It was built 1333 ; but must have been rdbuilt

in the Perpendicular, and is said to have been a very large and stately building ; but the greater part was destroyed by Henry VIIL All that remains is of Perpendicular character, resembling the nave of Holy Trinity. Another wide aisle Tvas added on the S. side, a new porch (1861-3), built from the design of G. G. Scott.
The aisles reach to the E., without distinction of chancel ; there are six bays ; the three western arcades are pointed Tvith light piers much resembling those of the nave of Holy Trinity. The three eastern arches of the arcades are of poorer work on slender piers of shallow moulding with four shafits, but no general capitals. The clerestory is embattled, and has very closely set Perpendicular windows of three lights, according to a local type. The other windows are of Perpendicular character, mostly new. The interior is nicely arranged with open seats, the old roof restored, and all the ornaments suitable and elegant. The galleries removed ; the organ is in the S. aisle of the chancel. The arcades to the new aisle resemble the original ones. The organ is a large one. The tower was rebuilt 1826, has three stages, large windows, and parapet, with octagonal corner turrets crowned by large pinnacles. The lower portion is arched to form a footway. There are no buttresses on the N. There is a fine new font. It is now a handsome and suitable town church.

The foregoing extracts from the Registers of S. Mary's, Hull, ^vill show the valuable nature of the record, and make the reader wishful to increase his acquaintance Avith it. Hull possesses a still more important register — that of the Holy Trinity Church. These records are valuable for the many historical names found in them. Unfortunately they have no duplicates, so that depending on a single copy, they are exposed to irretrievable loss by any accident.
The Parish Registers of Carlton and Loversall have perished by fire in our time, and that of Doncaster has been irreparably ruined.
The Thoresby Society has acted \vith prudent foresight in printing the Parish Registers of Leeds — an example worthy of imitation.
THE HOUSE OF GREY FRIARS, DONCASTER.
By F. R. FAIRBANK, M.D., F.8.A.
I HAVE been able to collect the following notices of the House of Grey Friars at Doncaster, about which house very little has been written, and very little is known. The house appears to have been founded during the 13th century, in the earlier part of which, the order of Franciscans, or Grey Friars, was founded by S. Francis of Assissi, and sanctioned by Pope Innocent III. By the Franciscan Order of Friars, England was divided into 7 Custodies or Wardenships, viz., London, York, Cambridge, Bristol, Oxford, Newcastle, and Worcester. Within the wardenship of York, there were 7 convents, of which that at Doncaster was one ; the others being York, Lincoln, Boston, Beverley, Scarborough, and Grimsby. As was the rule of the Order, the Priory in Doncaster was in the poorest and worst part of the town — in Marsh Gate. Marsh Gate runs out of Doncaster to the north-west, across an island formed by the rivers Cheswold and Don. The Priory was built on a piece of ground containing 7 acres, 2 roods, and 6 perches, at the south-east extremity of the island. Who was the " Founder '' is not known, but it is certain that the house was founded in the latter half of the 13th century ; and that there had been a convent in Don- caster many years when Peter de Maulay, in 1315, gave them 18 perches of land. Whatever may be thought of the Order in the latter part of its history, before the Dissolution of Monasteries in England, there can only be one opinion as to the worthiness of its members during the early portion of its existence in England. In giving my notes, I have not attempted anything in the form of a liistor}-, they are too slender for that. They may be useful hereafter in th<at direction. They are as follows : —
1291. Archbishop Romanus wrote to each house of Friars Minorsj and^' Preachers, within the diocese to send out two or three friars to as many . different places to preach the crusade, which, however, proved abortive 5

and granted 100 days' indulgence to all who favoured the crusade with gifts, or who joined it. The Friars Minors of Doncaster were to send out one in Doncaster, one at Blyth, and a third at Retford.
1301. The will of Eva de Tibtoft was proved here before Archbishop Corbridge of York.
1307. Dodsworth mentions that Sir John Grey did homage this year to the Archbishop of York, for lands held of him, in the church of the Friars Minors of Doncaster.
1315. Peter de Maulay had an " Ad quod damnum" that he might set apart for the use of the Friars Minors a piece of land at Doncaster con- taining xviii. perches. Hunter thinks that this appears like an " original foundation."
1333. Thomas, Lord Fumival of Sheffield was buried here.
1341. In the will of Elizabeth Paytefin, of Headingley, published by Steevens, in which so many of the northern religious foundations are mentioned, forty shillings are left to the brethren of this house.
1347. Hugh de Hastyngs, Knt, buried at Elsing in Norfolk, where his brass still remains, mutilated, left by will to the Friars Minors of Doncaster 100 shillings, 20 quarters of corn, and 10 quarters barley, to celebrate for his soul.
1348. Nov. 16, Hugh de Warmesby, a Friar Minor of Doncaster, was authorised to act as confessor, by tho Archbishop of York, to Dame Margery de Hastinges and her family for a year. She was widow of Sir Hugh de Hastings and executrix.

1526. Thomas Kirkham, D.D. Oxon., was Guardian of the house in 1526. He was a zealous opponent of the King's divorce. He surren- dered the house in 1538, on the same day that the house of Carmelites in the town was dissolved, Nov. 20, to the King's Commissioners.
Brown Willis states that there were six Brothers and four novices ; but according to a paper in the Bodleian, there were eleven Brothers, whose pensions amounted to £20. The discrepancy may be explained by supposing that the smaller number did not include Kirkham, the head of the house. The clear value of the house was only £3 3^. id. Stock, stores and stuff realised £11 45. 5d. Remainder of goods and chattels, £6 175. 6d. Lead, 43 fodders. There were 4 bells ; only 6oz. of plate. Wood and underwood were valued at £11. Debts owing to the house £11, and by the house £11. Dr. Kirkham was executed in 1547, 1 £dw. VI. Thoresby h«'id a Chronicle which belonged to this house. In 36 Hen. VIII. the site of the house was granted to William Gifford and Michael Wildbore. The Wildbores lived in a house at the north end of the Mill Bridge, that lemained until about ten or twelve years ago, when it was pulled down, being in a dangerous condition.
In the year 1842 the Iliver Don navigation was cut through the site of the Friars' house. The foundations of

-^hat appears to have been tlie church were discovered, where now is the bed of the canal. In " The Gentleman's Maga- aine," for Feb. 1842, Mr. Wm. Sheardown, of Doncaster, gave a description, with a plan, of what was found, as follows : —
"Tha foundfttiona were of WarmsBorth stone, the buildings of freestone from Brodsnorth; this ia eridcnt from a portion of close dressed stoDe

and a well-eTecuted corbel, and a canopy for an angular niche, with pianacles and foliated crockets. That the inner walls have been tbo church there cannot be a doubt, both from their position and the bones disinterred within tbe space ; and it is probable that the projection (shewn in the plan, half-way down the north side of the building) 1 1 feet ii in. square inside baa been the porch entrance, with the bdltawer over. The entrance was through a double arch, with a pier, and angulnr buttresses .... The foundations were 7 feet below the surface ; they rested on strong day ; t-o give additional firmness piles of oak wei-e driven, 6ft. long, 3 inches in diani., iu dusters of 8 ; 4 feet apart . . .

The interior measurements of the church were 72 feet by 25 feet ; walls 5 feet thick. Stood 17 degrees from due E. and W. Length of exterior wall of enclosure 157 feet ; breadth 85 feet."
In the plan the enclosing wall is given square. A few years ago, when the Corporation swimming bath was built, skeletons were disturbed ; one body had been wrapped in lead, which was found quite flattened, it was taken to the Mansion House, where it now remains. This discovery was made on the south of the church, between that building and the river Cheswold, the southern boundary of the Friars' enclosure, and near an abutment of mediseval masonry, which appears to have formed part of the old ** Friars' bridge/'

XLIX.
YORK BOY BISHOPS.
By F. R. FAIRBANK, M.D., F.S.A.
The following notes may be acceptable as an addition to the list of Boy Bishops which appears on page 400 : —
"In the diocese of York, as early as 1367, it was ordered as an in- dispensable qualification, 'that the Bishop of the Boys should be he who had served longest in the church, and who should be most suitable, provided, nevertheless, that he was sufficiently handsome in person, and that any election otherwise should not be valid.'
"In 1396, John Cave, Boy Bishop in York, went on his visitation tour to mansions, monasteries, &c, ffe was attended by a considerable retinue, and his accounts were kept by Nicholas of Newark, * guardian of the property of the Boy Bishop/ It was, in fact, a succession of excursions on horseback, from and back to York ; and it extended beyond the ordinary limits, namely, to the end of the Purification, Feb. 2, When the accounts were balanced, and receipts of gifts were weighed against expenses, there remained forty shillings and sixpence halfpenny for the little prelate to put in his pocket — a no inconsiderable sum, considering the relative value of money." — iVo^e's and Quenes, Dec. 25, 1875, p. 501.
As instances of these visitations and gifts the following occur: —
" 1457. Bursar's Accounts, Fountains Abbey. " To the Boy Bishop of Ripon, 3«. "To the Boy Bishop of York, Qs. SdJ'
Memorials of Fountains. Stir, Soc. ii. 90.
In the " Northumberland Household Book " there is the following : —
488 NOTES.
" My lord useth and accustomyth yerely when his lordship is at home to yei unto the Barne-bishop of Beverlay when he comith to my lorde in Christmas halley dayes, when my lord kepith his hous at Lekynfeld, xx».'*— Pp. 658, 659.
At Beverley a corody was paid to the Boy Bishop.
" 24 Hen. viii. Account of Robert Flee, clerk, Receiver General of the Fabric.
"Reprise in Pensionibus : Corod. Epis. Puerorum, 16"." — PouUan't Beverley^ p. 642.
In 1321 William Loncastre, Chaplain and Penitentiary of the Church of B. Peter, York, left by will : —
". . . . Officio et statui Episcopi Innocentium perpet. remaneiB in Ecclesio pra)dicto unum anulum cum magno lapide," — York FahHc RolU^ Sur, Soc, p. 158.
In 1491 it appears that the pastoral staff (ring 1) of the Boy Bishop, which was of silver, was mended and regilded.
'^ . . . . Emendatione pontificalis (bac. pastor ?) episcopi puerorum et pro argento et deauracione ejusdem 17* 11^." — Ibid, p. 92.
In an Inventory taken about 1500, of the Cathedral, the following occurs : —
**.... Unus annulus pro Episcopo pueronim et duo owchys, unus in medio ad modum crucis cum lapidibus in circumferenciis, cum alio parvo cum uno lapide in medio vocato turchas.** — Ibid, p. 214.
Among the treasures of York Cathedral "were the mitres of great value, and one small mitre set with stones, pro episcopo puerorum . . . many pastoral rings, amongst which, one for the Bishop of the Bojs." — Drakes Eboractiniy p. 481.
In the '* Northumherland Household Book,'' 1827, p. 439, notes, the following occurs : —
" Inventory of a Boy Bishop in an ancient MS. in possession of Thos. Astle, Esq'-e.
" Imprimis. 1 Myter well garnish with perle and precious stones, with nowches of silver and gilt before and behind.
" Item iij. Rynges of silver and gilt with four ridde precious stones in them.
" Item j. pontifical with silver gilt with a blue stone in hytt,
** >> J* owche broken silver and gilt with iij. precious stones and s perle in the raydds.
** Item, a crosse with a staff of coper gilt with the ymage of S. Nicolas in the mydds.
"item j. vestment reddc with lyoiis with silver with brydds of gold iu the orlcres of the same.
NOTES. 489
" Item j. albe to the same with starres in the paro. ' " Item j. white cope stayned with tristells and orfcres redde sylke ith does of gold with whyte napkins about the necks. " Item iij. copes blew sylke with redde orferes trayled with whitt V>raiinches and flowers.
"Item j. steyned cloth of the ymage of S. Nicholas.
" Item j. tabard of skarlet and a hodde thereto lyned with whytt sylke.
" Item, a hode of skarlet lyned with blue sylke."
This is a considerable inventory, and it shows with what pomp and circumstance the various offices were performed by the Boy Bishop.
In 1469-70 some accident appears to have occurred on the Feast of Holy Innocents by which the great cross of the cathedral of York was broken, for in the " Compotus Custodis FabricsB Eccl. Cath. Ebor." the following occurs : —
" Summa expensarum . . . . De quibus Sol. pro emendacione magnse crucis fractse per casum in festo Sanctorum Innocencimn." — York Fabric Uollsy Sur, Soc, p. 74.
I have given illustrations from Yorkshire only, but I have many other notes. Two interesting articles occur in " Kotes and Queries/' Dec. 25, 1875, containing "Sermons by Boy Bishops."

Battles fought in Yorkshire.
Treated historically and topographically by
ALEX. D. H. LEADMAN, F.S.A. Trice GjG each. Postage 3d. extra.
We have more than once commented in these columns on the wealth of literature dealing with the history of antiquities of Yorkshire. Mr. Leadman's account of ** Battles fought in Yorkshire ** is another excellent illustration of the patience, the industry, and the enthusiasm lavished on parts of this great subject. The book possesses all the best characteristics of the order to which it belongs. The facts are drawn, not at second-hand from the pages of popular historians, but from the original authorities. The descriptions are not the result of a more or less skilful attempt to realise a locality from the accounts of earlier writers ; they are obviously the work of one who has made his own studies, and examined every field with the same zeal that
Macaulay did Sedgemoor No doubt the volume owes
some of its charm to the writer's style. He is never dull and tedious, but in clear and unaffected narrative conducts us over a field and shows us the varying phases of a fight.
We ought to add that some excellent plans and views
accompany the letterpress of this most interesting work.
Yorkshire Post, May 20, 1891.
Dr. Leadman*s ** Battles fought in Yorkshire "• is a work that appeals at once to the best instincts of the antiquary ; Although a modest volume this account of the internecine conflicts that have taken place on Yorkshire soil has a value altogether beyond its size. It represents researches that have been conducted over a period of some twelve years. ... .It must not be supposed from what has been said that the volume g ves anything like transcriptions of documents or ancient chronicles. It gives rather a concise and terse presentation of all the known facts as regards the various battles. There are citations for every incident. We get nothing in the way of guesswork, though due respect is paid to local tradition. In all cases, too, where the site of the battle is known, Dr. Leadman has gone carefully over
the ground As a w^ork that may be lumed to vi\\)\
safety both as regards the general text and tV\e daXa. \1 supplies, this volume on the battles fought itv \oiVs\v\ie has great merit. Zeed* Mercury, May 20, 1891.
Clearly and concisely written, the work is likely to be accepted as an authority on the conflicts described in its pages. There are plans and other illustrations and an excellent index. Weekly Mercury^ May 23, 1S91.
The battles fought in Yorkshire have had much to do with the making of English history — how much, and what momentous issues have sometimes depended u[>on them, Mr. Leadman*s able work sets forth. The period covered
by the work embraces more than a thousand years
Mr. Leadman describes one by one, with much fulness of detail, the Battles of the Borders and the Wars of the Roses, and finally his record closes with an elaborate account of the Battle of Marston Moor. The amount of material he has collected relative to this important event — topographical, personal, and historic material — is astonishing. The story of the battle is told with the vividness which a ** special correspondent" in the present day might impait to his narrative of an engagement passing before his eyes. .«•... Marston Moor is morecomplete in his pages than it has ever been before. Among Yorkshiremen especially his book ought to have many readers, but its interest is national rather than local. It is really a valuable contribution to the history of the English people. Torkihire Herald^ Amyu$i 17, 1891.
Although somewhat out of our field or criticism, we noticed this work favourably on its partial issue in pamphlet form some months ago. It is written by an antiquarian member of our own profession, and is a weil executed and original account of eleven more or less important battles fought in Yorkshire extending from a.d. 633 to 1644. The author's English is pure and good, the information conveyed appears to be accurate, while the introduction of many local traditions and topographicil details makes the work of value to the historian. No one need ask for a more interesting and instructive hour's
reading than this book affords Dr. Leadman may
be congratulated on his successful archaeological researches and achievements. Brit. Med, Journal, July 4, 1S91.
An antiquarian work of more than local interest the
product of much patient and laborious research.
The Time$, Augu$t 21, 1891.
Dr. Leadn^n has taken great pains with his work and telU a plain unvarnished tale. Athencntm, October Srd, 1891.
The careful attention paid to topographical details and the pleasant style in which, for the most part, the chapters
are written, make them well worthy of preservation
We feel that the book on the whole is one that onght to give much satisfaction, whether we consider the interesting nature of its contents or the graphic and at the same time conscientiously cate^Til vf«j Vcv '«V\c>\ >Jcife deuils are set before us* It isapleasuteXot^cotMCifctA^'i AAaATRaxi%\i«^ work with much cotdVaWt^ . Antiquar)! , Av^u%\ , V^'^^^
Dr. Lead man, of BoroUghbridge, in Yorkshire, who has for some years past taken great interest in tracing afresh the history of Yorkshire Battles, has gathered together all the information he could obtain, either from documentary evidence, or from traditions still lingering near the battle fields, and he has contributed a series of papers to the Yorkihire Arch<eological Journal, from time to time, on each of the different battles. These papers he has now collected, and they are printed with additions in the volume before us* They were well received when they first appeared, and they possess the double merit of an evident endeavour to be carefully accurate, while at the same time the author writes fluently, and in an easy and readable style. He has been well advised to republish these descriptions of Yorkshire battles, and the book as it is, will be one which will be widely welcomed in the great county with which it deals. We have here graphic accounts of battles, of which it may be said, that many people know little more than the name, and an approxi- mate date when the particular battle was fought. In other cases, where but little information has come down to our time, either as tradition, or otherwise, such sources as are available have been carefully sifted, and well used ; the result being, that Dr. Leadman*s volume forms a readable and trustworthy description of all the Yorkshire battles.
The work has been one of evident interest and
rare on the part of the author : and the result is one with \ihich he may be well satisfied. The topographical part
is exceptionally well done The accounts of the
different battles are so well written, and the writer has been at so much pains to be accurate, and to give his authorities for his statements, that the book is certain to be warmly welcomed in Yorkshire, even if it does not Command a much wider area of influence. The Reliquarif, October^ 1891.
